It is a great honor to have the UN
Secretary General as guest. It is his first visit in Romania
in his current capacity.
I have availed this opportunity to reaffirm our constant
support in favor of the UN position consolidation at
international level. I consider it as beneficial for the
international community. We discussed about Romania's direct
cooperation with UN which gained new dimensions after
switching from assistance beneficiary to donor. We reconfirmed
Romania's support for the fulfillment of the Development
Objectives of the Millennium. We want to contribute to the
United Nations’ global action and to capitalizing the
experience Romania has gained along its transition from the
status it had before 1990 to what it is now: a democratic
country with market economy.
I have discussed with the Secretary General about the
development possibilities of the UN structures in Romania,
towards centers with a regional and sub-regional activity, for
instance the setting up of the regional center of excellence
and preparation for the security of peace-keeping operations.
We approached other topics, too. We talked about the issue of
Kosovo, about Afghanistan, Iraq, about the efforts which the
international community has to make so that this part of the
world becomes a region of stability, prosperity and for no
longer being a threat to global peace.
