Romania’s Ambassador to Georgia, Razvan Rotundu, highlighted the significant potential for expanding economic ties between the two countries. Speaking at the meeting of Georgian-Romanian business circles, the ambassador emphasized opportunities in both trade and transport, stressing the need for closer business-to-business contacts.
“Romania and Georgia are neighboring countries on the Black Sea, so the potential is huge. I think there is a similarity in culture and mentality, which also helps us a lot. More contact between business sectors is needed and we are very grateful to the Georgia-EU Business Council and Zviad Chumburidze, who helped us a lot in organizing this meeting. This is just one step, but we are ready to continue. The ferry between the port of Poti and Constanta has been operating for two years and this potential still needs to be used,” Rotundu said.
The ambassador also commented on the strategic Black Sea submarine cable project, which is being developed with the participation of Georgia, Romania, Azerbaijan, and Hungary. According to him, the initiative will play a crucial role in strengthening the region’s energy security.
“This is a long-term project that requires government involvement, and we are ready to continue cooperation with Georgia. There will be an energy hub that will strengthen our energy independence,” Rotundu noted.
