The Ambassador congratulated Romania for its success during the time that it exercised the Presidency of the Council of European Union, with a special mention for the cyber security field, in which the Dutch side is very interested. The Dutch Ambassador also sent condolences for the lost of human lives recently suffered by Romania in Afghanistan.

On the occasion of his discussion with the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden, Iohannis voiced his interest in strengthening the relations between the two countries. In this context, the two interlocutors highlighted a series of shared interest fields, already established, among which security, climate changes and Eastern Vicinity. "The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden appreciated the firm approach of President Klaus Iohannis in the rule of law state issue, the anti-corruption fight and gender equality matters, as well as in the fight against racism and anti-Semitism. The Romanian President underscored that Sweden has a Romanian community which is well integrated, in general, and has a positive contribution to the Swedish society. The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden congratulated our country for its success in exercising the Presidency of the Council of the European Union," showed the same source.

Klaus Iohannis also met, on the same occasion, the Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia, highlighting the strengthening of the political dialogue between the two countries, at the highest level, both at bilateral and regional levels, with the most recent example in this respect being the participation of the Romanian President to the Summit of the Three Seas Initiative, which was hosted by Slovenia in June this year. In this context, the Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia especially thanked Romania for its support in the organisation of the Summit in Slovenia, based on the experience gained in organising the successful Summit in Bucharest, hosted by president Iohannis in September 2018.
