“I developed deep empathy with my colleague Gheorghe Carciu during the meeting, building on fruitful exchanges of good practices on the enhancement of our national communities abroad,” said Undersecretary Silli. “Today’s fruitful exchange of views is part of a common path that Italy and Romania are following to further strengthen the already excellent bilateral relations we have within the framework of our strategic partnership.
