"Emine Japarova welcomed Romania's decision to participate at the highest level in the online summit of the International Crimea Platform on August 23," the Foreign Ministry reported.
She noted that the Summit's purpose is to stimulate dialogue and initiate specific actions to strengthen the international Crimea platform against the background of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation.
The first deputy minister emphasized that Romania is Ukraine's strategic partner in the Black Sea region, and the challenges associated with russia's aggression against Ukraine undermine the existing international security system based on international law.
"Regional security issues are indivisible, and threats are common to both states," Japarova said.
