Romania actively contributes to deepening the European design, says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) in a social media post on Friday celebrating 20 years since Romania signed an accession treaty with the European Union.

„Today, as a committed and responsible Member State, which enjoys all the benefits of EU membership, we actively contribute to deepening the European design, which is based on our common values and interests. We are proud of our achievements, we actively defend them, and we continue to strive to build a strong, united, democratic and resilient EU. The freedom, prosperity and security that all Romanians share with almost half a billion Europeans are at the heart of our efforts,” MAE said.

The treaty of Romania’s accession to the European Union was signed on April 25, 2005, at an official ceremony that took place in Luxembourg.
