Senator Tariceanu welcomes Polish ambassador Wilczek to discuss importance of economic cooperation

Chairman of the Romanian Senate Calin Popescu-Tariceanu on Thursday welcomed Polish ambassador to Bucharest Marcin Wilczek to underline the importance of economic co-operation and a mutual interest of the two countries in the development of projects at regional level designed to bridge the gap between East and West in the European Union. 

According to a Senate press statement, the talks highlighted the "excellent" dynamics of parliamentary dialogue and close collaboration, in which joint initiatives and joint actions are being developed in a broad format, given the convergence of interests within the EU and NATO and the important regional role of both countries, which develop privileged relations under their bilateral strategic partnership. 

Tariceanu mentioned that particular attention was paid to strengthening the role of the Legislature in the field of regional and international security, and steps were taken to establish a parliamentary pillar of the platform for dialogue and consultation on security issues, such as the Bucharest Format (B9). 

"The Romanian side voiced confidence that the organisation of the first B9 parliamentary summit in Bucharest in 2018, at the joint initiative of the Senate of Romania and the Senate of the Republic of Poland, will contribute to the series of consultations of NATO's eastern flank countries in preparation for the NATO Summit in Brussels in 2018," reads the statement.
