Bogdan Aurescu had a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Annalena Baerbock, on the sidelines of the Gymnich meeting in Stockholm.
The discussions concerned both the opportunities to strengthen Romanian-German relations with a strategic character, as well as current topics on the European agenda, including in the context of Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine.
Thus, the two ministers discussed the subject of Romania’s accession to the Schengen area, with Minister Aurescu presenting in detail the state of the Romanian side’s steps.
The German foreign minister firmly reconfirmed Germany’s strong support for Romania’s accession as soon as possible, stating, among other things, that the internal discussions in his country regarding the management of internal Schengen borders with other member states do not in any way affect the mentioned position of Berlin.
Also, the situation of the EU’s solidarity corridors, respectively the negotiations regarding the extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, was discussed, both ministers expressing the hope that the latter will be achieved.
Equally, in the context of the recent establishment – following the political agreement reached at the EAC of April 24, 2023 – of the EU sanctions regime to counter destabilizing actions against the Republic of Moldova and its constitutional order, an initiative launched by Minister Bogdan Aurescu at the EAC from February 20, 2023, the head of Romanian diplomacy requested Germany’s support for the rapid implementation of measures regarding the listing of the first batch of persons under this regime. The German foreign minister confirmed Germany’s full support for this approach.
