all those who emigrated may come back home with joy, the country’s president

the responsibility and solidarity they showed with those who stayed at home. He
recalled the difficult moments we had been through during the pandemic, which
proved tough for both the Romanians abroad and their relatives at home. According
to the president, since Romania benefits from European funds, which are to ease
massive investment in all areas, the country is going to enter an ample process
of development and reforms. The Day of the Romanians from All Over the World
represents a moment in which we are considering the importance of keeping
identity and national values every Romanian keeps in their heart, Foreign
Minister Bogdan Aurescu has underlined in his message. According to him,
strengthening the dialogue and the ties with members of the Romanian communities
is the Foreign Ministry’s key priority together with the promotion of the
