We will continue our dialogue with the American partners to bring as many projects and companies as possible to our country," Nazare wrote in a social media post.On the other hand, he added that Romania needs capital, technology and know-how, and the U.S. remains one of the important partners in this process."Consistent discussion today at the Ministry of Finance with Michael Dickerson, the U.S. charge d'affaires in Bucharest, about strengthening our strategic partnership and drawing more American investment to Romania. During the meeting with the U.S. Embassy team, we emphasised today our interest in public-private partnership (PPP) projects and in increasing foreign direct investment (FDI). Romania needs capital, technology and know-how, and the U.S. remains one of our important partners in this process."Nazare added that Wednesday's discussion took place after numerous actions and conversations to the same end previously carried out including with the US Department of Commerce and representatives of EU countries that have relevant experience in the public-private partnership.
