The Romanian official voiced his country’s strong support for Georgia and its ongoing reform agenda.

He also underlined the role of Georgia as a leader among the Eastern Partnership countries, as well as in terms of participation in the NATO-led peacekeeping missions.

Melescanu announced that a high-level delegation from Romania will visit Georgia this year.
