The US Ambassador to Bucharest, Hans Klemm, on Wednesday went on a visit to Dambovita county, while wanting to learn about the county, about Targoviste, about the history, tradition and economy of the area. During his visit, Hans Klemm discussed with the local authorities, visited the Targoviste Princely Court, the Communism Museum in the municipality, as well as some companies of the defence industry.
The ambassador specified that he received the invitation to pay a visit to this country from the Ministry of National Defence, Adrian Tutuianu, who is representing Dambovita as a Senator. Me and the delegation of the US Embassy to Bucharest have three objectives guiding us during the visit to Targoviste and one is to meet the leadership of this county, of the society and I am very grateful to the president, the prefect and all the people that I've met today and that welcomed us today, he said. The ambassador added that the warmness and hospitality moved him, as he was honored to be in Dambovita county. Hans Klemm said that the second objective is to learn about the Dambovita County and about Targoviste, about its history, tradition and economy. All of our interlocutors, Mr President, Mr Minister, Mr Mayor convinced us of the potential of Dambovita, said the US Ambassador to Bucharest.
He also spoke about the development of the economic relations between the US and Romania. One of my responsibilities is to boost trade, the exchange between the US and Romania on services and to boost direct investment between our countries. I will pay attention in the next days during the visit to see what is the real potential of Dambovita, in this context, he said. The third objective is represented by the fact that I answered an invitation extended to me by Mr Tutuianau a month ago and I was honored about this invitation, with the purpose being precisely to visit some of the facilities operating in the defence industry. This is of great interest to the United States, Hans Klemm underscored. The US official reiterated the support of the the US related to the increase by 2 percent of the GDP that Romania is currently earmarking for Defense.
He congratulated the Romanian Government for its initiative to increase the percentage allotted to the defence industry, given that this increase generated a bigger potential for the development of the partnerships between the US and Romanian companies. Accompanying Mr Hans Klemm in his visit at the Dambovita Prefecture headquarters were county administration officials, National Defence Minister Adrian Tutuianu, as well as Dambovita MPs Titus Corlatean and Oana Vladuca.
