Comprehensive Romanian-Hungarian dialogue at MAE
Foreign Affairs Ministry's state secretary Daniel Ionita met on Tuesday Joszef Czukor, foreign policy advisor of Hungary's prime minister. In this context, the Romanian diplomat said that one of Romania's priorities at the forthcoming NATO Summit in Warsaw is finding solutions to the security challenges on the south and east.
According to a release of the Foreign Affairs Ministry (MAE), the two officials addressed security topics in the perspective of the NATO Summit - migration, terrorist threats, evolutions in the Eastern Neighbourhood, with focus on the situation in Ukraine and on the EU-Ukraine relations, and the dialogue with Russia.
"State secretary Daniel Ionita stressed that Romania's priorities in view of the NATO Summit in Warsaw aim at the full implementation of the decisions adopted in September 2014 in the United Kingdom, at the identification of solutions to the security challenges in the east and south, particularly ensuring a robust rotational presence of the Allied forces on the eastern flank, both in the north and south, while substantiating the Allied efforts for assistance and for the consolidation of the defence capability of partner states in the Black Sea region," the document reads.
As regards the Ukrainian matters, Ionita mentioned the importance of supporting Kiev in the process of domestic reforms and the need for a full and immediate implementation by all sides of the conditions set in the Minsk Agreements.
State secretary for political analysis and relations with the Parliament Victor Micula also met with Czukor on Tuesday; their talks approached topics of the bilateral relation, the migration crisis, and the relations with the states in the Eastern Partnership, especially the Republic of Moldova.
"From the perspective of the bilateral relation, the importance of continuing broad economic and specialized projects was mentioned, in the context of the Strategic Partnership between the two states," the MAE release states.
State secretary Micula essentially presented Romania's approach to the migration crisis from the perspective of the recent agreement between the EU and Turkey.
