On 24 September, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania, H.E. Oana Țoiu 🇷🇴, hosted a regional ministerial working lunch in New York, bringing together representatives of the #CEI and #SEECP on the margins of #UNGA81. 🇺🇳 Through its concurrent Presidencies-in-Office of the CEI and SEECP, Romania is advancing a results-oriented approach to regional cooperation, translating political dialogue into concrete action. 🤝🏼🌍🇪🇺 More details in the original post below 👇🏼 #RegionalCooperation #CEI #SEECP #UNGA81 #CloserInTheRegion #StrongerInEurope #Resilient #Connected #European
Am găzduit și prezidat la New York o întâlnire cu miniștri de externe și lideri din Europa Centrală și de Sud-Est care fac parte din cele două formate regionale pe care România conduce simultan în acest an. Dejunul de lucru ministerial regional dedicat Inițiativei Central-Europene (ICE) și Procesului de Cooperare în Europa de Sud-Est (SEECP) s-a desfășurat în marja Săptămânii la Nivel Înalt a celei de-a 81-a sesiuni a Adunării Generale a ONU, și a confirmat rolul asumat de România de avansare la nivel global a agendei comune a statelor din regiune. Cele 20 de state reunite sub umbrela ICE și SEECP formează o piață cumulată de peste 250 de milioane de locuitori și generează un Produs Intern Brut comun de peste 6.000 de miliarde de euro. Este un bloc de putere care nu poate fi ignorat și un partener esențial pentru securitatea euroatlantică într-o perioadă marcată de provocări geopolitice majore. Am stabilit că diplomația să însemne mai mult decât dialog politic, trebuie să aducă rezultate tangibile. Sub mandatele României, am mutat atenția pe acțiuni clare: ✅ Combatem direct atacurile hibride și campaniile de manipulare a informațiilor (FIMI), lucrând cot la cot cu experții noștri de la Centrul Euro-Atlantic pentru Reziliență și DNSC. ✅ Folosim modelul nostru de la frontiera Albița-Leușeni pentru a facilita cooperarea și a susține neclintit parcursul european al statelor candidate. ✅ Pregătim noua generație de lideri prin cursurile pentru tineri diplomați și programele de comunicare strategică pe care le-am organizat deja la București. Anul viitor, în iunie 2027, România va organiza acasă, la București, Summit-ul SEECP. Vor veni în România liderii din Ankara, Atena, Belgrad, Chișinău, Ljubljana, Podgorița, Priștina, Sarajevo, Skopje, Sofia, Tirana și Zagreb, împreună cu partenerii noștri din instituțiile Uniunii Europene.

Slovenia’s GDP journey highlights the impact of European integration: 📉 1998 (Accession talks): $22.15B
📈 2004 (Joined EU): $34.16B
🚀 2024 (Current): $73.20B From candidate country to economic success story, the data reflects a trajectory of sustained growth and successful integration – a valuable point of reference for the EU candidates. As a CEI member since 1992 and a SEECP participant since 2010, Slovenia remains a committed partner in regional cooperation – particularly relevant as Romania holds the 2026 Chairmanships of both CEI and SEECP. 🇸🇮🌍🤝🇪🇺 #CEI2026RomanianPresidency

Solidarity is at the heart of regional cooperation! 👇🏼🇷🇴🤝🏼🇷🇸 #seecp #rcc #cei #regionalcooperation #regionalsolidarity
🇷🇴 Romania stands with 🇷🇸 Serbia as the country battles devastating wildfires. A Romanian DSU Black Hawk helicopter and its team are on the way to support the firefighting efforts. Also, a team of 69 Romanian firefighters and 15 DSU vehicles are joining their Serbian colleagues. Romanian firefighters have a long standing reputation of professionalism but also of readiness to deploy in international solidarity. This year they joined firefighting missions in 🇬🇷 Greece and 🇫🇷 France in a very difficult summer particularly throughout southern Europe. Today, we stand with our neighbours. European solidarity means being there when help is most needed. @DSURomania
