Romania's Foreign Minister Teodor Melescanu on Thursday welcomed Director of the International Affairs Department of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Stephen J. Schneider to reiterate that Romania is and will remain an ally of the United States of America, a strong supporter of the transatlantic relationship, and it will actively support dialogue between the US and the EU on all themes of shared interest.
"The minister of foreign affairs stressed the importance that Romania attaches to constant dialogue with the Jewish community of the United States of America. He expressed his willingness to strengthen co-operation with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, while calling for the organisation's support to raise the American public's awareness over Romania's achievements," according to MAE.
Melescanu also informed about the anti-Semitism law grounded in the working definition adopted by Romania while it held the chairmanship of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
