Romania is a mature member of the European Union, that wishes to be a re-founding member of the EU, President Klaus Iohannis said on Thursday at the end of his meeting with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.
"We have decided to support a strengthened cooperation between Romania and France in the field of European affairs, mainly to support and even re-define the European project we both - President Macron and I - hold very dear. I've assured Mr. President that he can find an authentic partner, deeply attached to the European idea and fully involved in the efforts of re-boosting the EU. Romania is today, ten years since accession, a mature member state, with a very strong European profile, that wishes to be a re-founding member of the EU. In this respect, I've stressed the importance of advancing in the integration process at European level in an inclusive formula, open to all member states, by focusing our joint efforts on consensual initiatives, with concrete, positive results for our citizens. (...) Social Europe must be in the first place a Europe of cohesion, based on a unitary vision wherein the social progress of every member state is a priority goal," Iohannis told the joint conference delivered with French President Macron.
He also specified that Romania wishes to participate from the beginning in the "Europe of Defence" project.
