The Lord Callanan talked about a new type of relationship with the European Union, conveying to the 27 states that will remain members of the Union that the UK's commitment towards European values and tight connections in trade and defence areas will remain unchanged. He went on mentioning the wish that the UK's friends in Europe, such as Romania, be militating for a close economic and security partnership, based on their common interest.
The British official also underscored that the UK will further consolidate its historic ties with Romania even after exiting the EU.
He stated that the UK remains the same state, an outward-oriented advocate of free-trade relations, that will continue to strengthen its historic ties with Romania long after leaving the European Union.
Among the speakers of the conference there were also Minister-delegate for European Affairs Victor Negrescu, head of the British-Romania Chamber of Commerce Charlie Crocker, representative of Romania's Chamber of Commerce and Industry Lazar Comanescu and Romanian entrepreneur of the UK Paul Balogh.
