Prime Minister Ludovic Orban states, in a message sent on Monday, on the occasion of the Romanian Language Day, that the national language has created "a distinct Romanian personality", and a rich language, "to express all the nuances of feeling and thinking" can only be learned through reading.
The prime minister points out that the survival of the Romanian people in history was due, "to an essential extent," to the unity of language.
In this context, he emphasizes the merits of writers and teachers in the promotion and development of the Romanian language.
Referring to the situation in the diaspora, Orban points out the role of the family in encouraging young people to learn Romanian.
According to him, the Government, at central level and through the relevant institutions, is involved in the actions meant to support the preservation of the national consciousness, both in the country and in the communities abroad. In this regard, Ludovic Orban mentions the introduction, this year, of the Romanian Language, Culture and Civilization course in schools in France, "the seventh European state in which such courses begin to be taught, after Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland and the United Kingdom."
