The ruling coalition's presidential candidate Crin Antonescu declared on Thursday in Calarasi that there is a "gap" in the official communication with the U.S. and the functional circuits of this relationship must be promptly restored.
Speaking at a press conference, Antonescu said that one of the first measures he will take if elected president will be to restore "the functional circuits" in the relationship with the U.S., stressing the urgency of this move, "because not by our fault, but due to an unfortunate conjuncture and especially because of the changes in the United States, of the let's say revolutionary character of the changes in the U.S. administration, we currently experience an insufficient communication, an insufficiently functional communication," said the presidential hopeful backed by PSD, PNL, UDMR and the minority group.
He stressed that in his opinion Romania must bolster its relations and perhaps even create new structures with Poland or Turkey, the more so as it has strategic partnerships with these two states.
Asked about the relationship with Russia, Antonescu voiced his hope that relations with this country will someday normalize.
"Speaking about the Russian state, it is advisable to do this in this particular order: one - take the best possible security measures and two, after having done that, attempt the best possible relationship with this country because it won't disappear, it will not go anywhere, and neither will we, geography keeps us close together, yet I hope that not as neighbors. But in this order. When we talk about Russia, security first comes to my mind and after that, why not, the best possible relationship. We are not at war with Russia, by the way, and I hope that relations under honorable, under fair conditions from our point of view, from the point of view of the Europeans, will normalize someday," said the presidential candidate of the governing coalition.
