"This week, in Washington, we celebrate the Strategic Partnership between Romania and the United States of America - an essential pillar of Romanian foreign policy and a guarantee of security, prosperity and democracy in the region.

It is a moment to reaffirm the friendship between our nations," said the Romanian ambassador to Washington, Andrei Muraru, quoted in the press release.

On Friday, July 11, at the prestigious American think-tank Heritage Foundation, a debate will take place on the future of the Romania-US Strategic Partnership. The event will address the themes of a solid partnership in the field of security and defence, as well as the evolving cooperation in the energy, trade and business sectors, with an emphasis on Romania's role in the Black Sea region.
The week will end with the 4th edition of the largest Romanian festival in the United States, entitled "Romanian Weekend at The Wharf," where, from July 11-13, American citizens and members of the Romanian-American community will be able to enjoy folk dance performances and live concerts, demonstrations of traditional crafts, interactive workshops, tourist presentations, exhibitions and culinary and oenological tastings.
