Aurescu and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu will
discuss all aspects of bilateral relations, which are at the
strategic partnership level, the ministry said in a statement.
The ministers will also exchange views on Türkiye's European
Union accession process as well as current regional and
international issues.
Based on a mutual commitment to enhance bilateral relations in
every field, the level of Türkiye-Romania relations was raised to
that of a strategic partnership in 2011.
The point reached in relations between Romania and Türkiye is a
source of pride, Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said
Thursday.
Ankara is pleased that relations with Romania are developing by
the day, Soylu said at a reception in the Turkish capital Ankara to
mark Romania's Independence Day.
Soylu said Ankara will continue to enhance ties with Bucharest
to sustain peace, stability and welfare in the Balkans.
'I happily state that Romania is our biggest trading partner in
Southeast Europe,' he said, adding that the two countries are
working to reach a $10 billion trade volume.
'Our close relations as two friendly states of the region with
such strong ties make significant contributions to solving the
problems in our region,' he said.
Romanian Ambassador to Türkiye Stefan Tinca said the countries
are strategic partners and enjoy a 'mature and robust'
relationship.
'We are good regional partners in the Black Sea and Southeast
Europe. We are strong allies within NATO. As we come close to the
end of the year, I expect our economic exchanges to pass above the
$10 billion threshold,' said Tinca.
Türkiye and Romania have strong political, economic, cultural
relations and humanitarian bonds based on deep-rooted historical
ties. Türkiye and Romania maintain their close relations through
high-level dialogue and friendship.
Based on the mutual commitment to enhance bilateral relations in
every field, the level of relations was raised to a strategic
partnership with the signing of the Strategic Partnership
Declaration in December 2011. The action plan for the
implementation of the declaration was signed in March 2013. The
10th anniversary of the Strategic Partnership in 2021 was
celebrated with various events held in both Ankara and
Bucharest.
The exchange of high-level visits between Türkiye and Romania
reflects the close political dialogue and friendly relations.
