Ambassador of State of Palestine in sign of appreciation for the long and common history be-

tween Romania and Palestine and emphasized the fact that Romania was the first non-Arab

country to recognize Palestine Liberation Organization, as the legitimate representative of Pal-

estinian people and in 1988 to recognize the State of Palestine.

H.E. Ambassador Fuad Kokaly presented the latest achievements in bilateral relations and

hopes for building new bridges of cooperation between Romania and Palestine.

The main issue tabled during the dialogue was related to: developing educational and univer-

sity cooperation between the two countries, accepting more Palestinian students in Romanian

Other issues highlighted where: opening in Romania a Palestinian financial institution in order

to support the developing of bilateral economic relation, supporting tourism development and

We highlight the fact that: is the first ever message of election validity recognition, offered for a

country in the Middle East region and the first such high level message after a two decades

hiatus in the Romania-Iraq bilateral relationship.

We must also emphasize that the Romanian message of support and recognition was the sec-

ond received in Baghdad, after the United States message, and ambassador Omer Berzinji was

congratulated for obtaining a rapid response from the Romanian side.

Professor Dr. Anton Caragea had underlined this recognition of Iraqi elections as a symbol, not

just of the rapprochement between the two countries, but also a clear recognition of the ef-

forts of H. E. Ambassador Omer Berzinji that was not solely elected as BEST AMBASSADOR FOR

2013, but also succeeded in revitalize the bilateral connection.

The exchange of congratulatory messages , the recognition of political recent evolution`s and

the clearly stated desired of H.E. President Fuad Masum to continue the development of eco-

nomic cooperation with Romania, as well as the positive trend of cultural and diplomatic coop-

eration are creating the basis for a rosy future in Romania-Iraqi friendship.
