The establishment of the Strategic Partnership between Romania and Japan marked a new stage of our cooperation, including in the field of justice. In 2024, we have a good framework for expanding judicial cooperation," Alina Gorghiu wrote on Facebook.

I agreed to an exchange of experience in this field with the Japanese partners. I wish Ambassador Ueda further success," added Gorghiu.
