Iohannis, Mattarella on economic relationship, looking forward to new investments

"We discussed some details regarding our economic relationship that is steadily growing," Klaus Iohannis told a joint statement with Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinal Palace in Rome. 

According to the Romanian president, a record level of almost 15 billion euro in bilateral exchanges has been reached, and experts estimate that this upward trend will maintain in the coming period. 

"I underscored that Romania is and will be a very attractive market, it is a country with an important potential and even if we have a very numerous business community in Romania, we are looking forward to new and new investments and business persons coming and enriching our bilateral economic relationship," Iohannis stated. 

Moreover, president Iohannis specified that his visit to Italy takes place in a year with a particular significance for both Romania and the bilateral relationship. 

"The Romanians this year celebrate the Greater Union's Centennial, an anniversary that I believe can be called a benchmark anniversary to our history. And together with Italy we celebrate 10 years of consolidated strategic partnership, a very well functioning relationship. We have this very close relation, a relation cultivated through the highest level dialogue included and within this framework, I have analysed together with Mr President Mattarella the relationship's stage, have approached extremely current topics in connection, obviously, with the European agenda, with the region and the international security matters," Iohannis added.
