Prince Charles of Britain, currently on a new visit to Romania, met on Wednesday in Bucharest with President Klaus Iohannis, PM Nicolae Ciuca and Princess Margareta, Custodian of the Romanian Crown. Talks focused on the Ukrainian refugee crisis and the support granted by Romania to its neighboring country in the context of the Russian invasion. According to the Presidential Administration, Iohannis informed Prince Charles on the humanitarian hub in Suceava, north-eastern Romania, and on the coordination of support efforts by a number of states, to Ukraines benefit. Also discussed were the Romanian-British strategic partnership, solutions to limit the impact of climate change and to preserve biodiversity and the need for educational projects on climate change. Iohannis emphasized Romanias commitment to reaching the European goals in this respect.



During the talks with PM Nicolae Ciuca, Prince Charles was interested in Romanias policies on green and renewable energy. PM Ciuca voiced support for investment in green energy, the offshore wind power in particular, in which British companies are invited to invest in the upcoming period.



The war in Ukraine was another topic discussed by Prince Charles and PM Nicolae Ciuca. The British guest voiced concern over global food security, given that the Russian troops have blocked the Odesa and Nikolaev ports. Nicolae Ciuca presented Romanias efforts to support Ukraine, namely, taking in refugees, supporting Ukrainian citizens relocated in the country and those defending it and supporting Ukrainian cereal exports. Ciuca also talked about the perspectives and threats in the Black Sea region, in the context of the war in Ukraine.



Prince Charles visited, together with Princess Margareta, Custodian of the Romanian Crown, a refugee centre in Bucharest, and discussed with the refugees and the volunteers there. The centre has more than 1 thousand Ukrainian visitors per day, who receive food, hygiene products and clothing, and also benefit social services and counseling during their stay in Romania.



Prince Charles will spend the rest of his private visit in Transylvania, where he has several properties. He first visited Romania in 1998 and has returned to the country almost every year ever since. He has been supporting foundations and programs focused on the protection of Transylvanias heritage and biodiversity and, through Prince Charles of Wales Romania Foundation, he supported small farmers and ran a special program for the Romanian military injured in Afghanistan.
