BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 7. There are several
plans between Romania and Georgia in 2022, regarding the expansion
of cooperation in areas of common interest, as well as bilateral
political contacts, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania told
Trend .
'Given the potential offered by the economies of Romania and
Georgia, we intend to intensify contacts with the Georgian
authorities and to take steps for resuming the works of the Joint
Intergovernmental Commission on Economic and Scientific
Cooperation. This should help identify new opportunities for
cooperation in areas of common interest,' the source said.
Regarding transport connectivity with Georgia, Romania will
continue building links through the Black Sea, the Caucasus and
Central Asia - regions along the Middle Corridor important in
connecting Europe to Asia.
'Through their geographic position, the ports of Constanta and
Batumi/Poti also play an important role in terms of regional
connectivity, especially in the field of transportation and energy,
as well as in promoting trade exchanges between the two riparian
states,' the ministry noted.
In terms of energy cooperation, Romania's MFA underlines the
significance of a new fiber-optic cable project connecting Romania
and the countries of the South Caucasus. 'Once realized, this
interconnection will have a positive impact on the development of
energy and data exchanges between Romania and the South Caucasus,'
the ministry noted.
Romania believes that connectivity should be the backbone of
economic and trade exchanges between the countries of the Black Sea
region. We support the initiatives designed to advance prosperity,
sustainable development and a better quality of life for the
peoples of our countries, the source said.
'We are convinced that increased trade exchanges, mobility and
people-to-people contacts will promote regional economic stability,
social well-being and open up real business opportunities,' the
ministry concluded.
