Since December 1989, Romania has pursued a policy of strengthening relations with the West in general, more specifically with the United States and the European Union.

Romania joined the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in 1972, and is a member of the World Trade Organization. It joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) on March 29, 2004 and the European Union (EU) on January 1, 2007.

The current government has stated its goal of strengthening ties with and helping other Eastern European countries (in particular Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia) with the process of integration with the West. Romania has also made clear over the past 10 years that it supports NATO and EU membership for the democratic former Soviet republics in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.

Contents

NATO

Main article: NATO and Romania

Romania joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) on March 29, 2004 following the decision taken at the Prague Summit, in November 2002. For Romania, this has represented a major evolution, with decisive influence on the foreign and domestic policy of the country. NATO membership represents the guarantee of security and external stability, which is vital for ensuring the prosperous development of the country. Romania is playing an active role in promoting the values and objectives of the Alliance, by both participating in the operations and missions of the Alliance and involving in its conceptual initiatives and evolutions. Romania together with other partner and member states brings a strong contribution to the coalition against terrorism by rooting out the funding for terrorist activities i.e. trafficking in drugs, women; clamping down on illegal arms sales; strengthening border security and greater law enforcement cooperation and coordination; sharing intelligence both internally and externally in a way never seen before; and, by providing military and logistical support to the campaign in Afghanistan.

United States

See also: United States-Romania relations

In December 2005, President Traian Băsescu and United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice signed an agreement that would allow a U.S. military presence at several Romanian facilities primarily in the eastern part of the country.[1]

Moldova

Main articles: Romanian-Moldovan relations and Movement for unification of Romania and Moldova

Relations with Moldova are rather special, considering that the two countries share the language, and a fairly common historical background. Historically, most of what is today the Republic of Moldova was a part of the medieval Principality of Moldavia and a part of Romania during the interwar period. Signs in the early 1990s that Romania and Moldova might reunite after both countries achieved emancipation from communist rule quickly faded and relations between the two states have been somewhat strained since 1994. Romania remains interested in Moldovan affairs, especially that country's civil conflict with the breakaway republic of Transnistria. However, the two countries have been unable to reach agreement on a basic bilateral treaty; Romania is insistent (against determined Moldovan resistance) that such a treaty would have to refer to Romania and Moldova's 'special relationship'.

Palestinian National Authority

Main article: Romania–Palestine relations

Relations between Romania and the Palestinian National Authority are considered to be quite close; Bucharest officially advocates for a two-state solution, including an independent Palestinian state and an Israeli withdrawal from the territories. Romania is one of the 100 countries to recognise Palestine as a nation-state since the Palestinian Declaration of Independence on November 15, 1988.

Military relations and peacekeeping missions

Romania was a partner to the allied forces during the Gulf war, particularly during its service as president of the UN Security Council. Romania has been active in peacekeeping operations in UNAVEM in Angola, IFOR/SFOR in Bosnia, in Albania, in Afghanistan and has sent 860 troops in Iraq after the invasion led by the United States.

All of the Romanian troops were withdrawn from Iraq after their missions ended on June 4, 2009.[2] The last contingent of Romanians left Iraq on July 23, 2009.[3]

Romania enforced United Nations' sanctions against the Yugoslavia. Despite divisions within the Parliament and among the people, Romania supported NATO in the Kosovo campaign and granted approval for NATO to overfly Romanian airspace. It was the first country to enroll in NATO's Partnership for Peace program, later joining NATO in 2004.

Romania also is a member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC).

Regional relations

In 1996, Romania signed and ratified a basic bilateral treaty with Hungary that settled outstanding disagreements, laying the foundation for closer, more cooperative relations. In June 1997, Romania signed a bilateral treaty with Ukraine that, among other concerned, resolved territorial and minority issues that had impeded the development of improved relations between the two countries.

Romania has been actively involved in regional organizations, such as the Southeast Europe Cooperation Initiative (SECI) and the Stability Pact for Southeast Europe, and has played a key role in supporting stability and cooperation in the area.

Romania maintains good diplomatic relations with Israel and was supportive of the Middle East peace negotiations initiated after the Gulf conflict in 1991. Romania also is a founding member of the Black Sea Consortium for Economic Development.

Following Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia in February 2008, Romania has decided not to recognize it[4]

Disputes - international

International organizations

This are the international organizations which Romania is a part of:

Romania is a member of the United Nations,[5] the OECD[6] and the OSCE,[7] a member state of the NATO and the Council of Europe as well as member of the European Union.

Romania entered NATO in 2004 and serves as the organization's vital eastern anchor, controlling the Black Sea and sharing a border with Ukraine. The United States has maintained air forces at a Romanian base called Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport in the county of Constanţa.

Romania is also member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It has signed free trade agreements with the Moldova, Israel, and many other countries. In 1992, Romania and 10 other regional nations formed the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Council to expand regional trade and economic cooperation.

Relations by region and country

Europe

Main article: Romanian membership of the European Union

Romania joined the European Union (EU) on January 1, 2007. Romania also declared its public support for Turkey and Croatia joining the European Union. Romania shares a privileged economic relation with Turkey. Romania has developed strong relations with Hungary, with the latter playing a key role in supporting Romania's bid to join the EU.[citation needed]

 Moldova See Moldovan-Romanian relations

Moldova and Romania have experienced an extremely complicated relationship since Moldova's independence in 1991. Pan-Romanianism has been a consistent part of Moldovan politics, and was adopted in the Popular Front of Moldova's platform in 1992. Romania's relations with neighbour Moldova have been strained since 1994. Most of Moldova was part of Romania during the interwar period and linguists generally agree that the Moldovan language is identical to Romanian (and by almost all accounts, the same as Romanian). Early signs that Romania and Moldova might unite after both countries achieved emancipation from communist rule quickly faded. Romania remains interested in Moldovan affairs, especially that country's civil conflict with the breakaway republic of Transnistria. However, the two countries have been unable even to reach agreement on a basic bilateral treaty; Romania is insistent (against determined Moldovan resistance) that such a treaty would have to refer to Romania and Moldova's 'special relationship'.
