Rebuilding Ukraine is about security, investment and connectivity. Romania, with its Black Sea position and transport links, can be a regional hub. Congrats to George Scutaru and @NSC_Romania on Romania's largest event on the topic. #Ukraine

Today, we find ourselves at a crossroads because the next decade and the decisions we make will write the story of the next century. #Rubio #Greece #Athena – at Bucharest, Romania
SECRETARY RUBIO: “Nationalism” became a dirty word. So we tore down our monuments, we condemned our own history, and in too many places we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process we opened our borders, and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay.

E.S. Riley Barnes - Asistent Secretar de Stat al SUA 🇺🇸 - cel mai inalt oficial al Statelor Unite al Americii care viziteaza Romania dupa alegerile din SUA 🇺🇸 si alegerile din Romania 🇷🇴, prieten de foarte multi ani, a revenit in Romania pentru o vizita oficiala de mare importanta in contextul international actual. Credibilitatea, valorile comune, credinta si viziunea societala care ne unesc, transced guvernari sau calculelor politice. Dumnezeu sa binecuvânteze SUA 🇺🇸 si Romania 🇷🇴 🙏

Sweden asks Romania for “rapid and effective cooperation.” Fair enough. But cooperation cannot be one-way. For nearly four years, Sara and Tiana Samson have been separated from their family in Sweden. Romania must demand the same: cooperation, urgency and respect. 🇷🇴 – at Constanta, Romania

The Viorel Pașca case raises a broader question: who steps in when the state cannot? For over 30 years, churches, NGOs and volunteers have cared for society's most vulnerable. Justice must prevail, but compassion must never be discouraged. – at Le Plessis-Trévise, France

Today, many chose not to remain indifferent and stood with the Samson family. Seeing the Bodnariu family together with their children reminded me that hope matters. Beyond #Fjord, there are real stories that show how precious family and hope truly are. – at Bucharest, Romania

Cristian Mungiu’s Palme d’Or for #Fjord brings back themes that deeply resonated with the Bodnariu family case. That chapter shaped me profoundly: commitment, public action, and the belief that some values are always worth defending. #Cannes – at Bucharest, Romania
