Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu discussed on Wednesday, at Palace Victoria(the Government House), with the United States Special Representative for Ukraine's Economic Recovery Penny Pritzker the part that Romania can play in the recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine envisaged at international level after the war triggered by Russia ends."We are at a stage of identifying the most efficient methods of support and translating them into an integrated strategy for the reconstruction of Ukraine, in which Romania wants to play an important part," Ciolacu is quoted as saying in a press statement released by the government on Wednesday.In view of preparing and starting this process of reconstruction of Ukraine, Romania takes into account as a main benchmark the EU mechanism for Ukraine, worth EUR 50 billion, and suggests bilateral actions be conducted through direct collaboration with Ukraine, and also in extended formats, at regional level or together with strategic partners.Ciolacu added that Romania's approach is centred on the idea that the actions of the nations that will be involved in the reconstruction of Ukraine must complete each other instead of being competitive, and that the process involves a long-term effort and coordination of the entire world community, in which the role and involvement of the United States remain essential.Ukraine's European integration perspective should guide the entire process of rebuilding the country.Ciolacu went on to say that a strategic objective of Romania is also Moldova's connection to this reconstruction effort, which primarily targets Ukraine, given that Moldova has been affected by the conflict and both countries need support for their European journey.Also attending the meeting was US ambassador in Bucharest Kathleen Kavalec, while the governmental delegation also included Deputy Prime Minister Marian Neacsu, head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery Mihai Ghigiu and senior official Nicolae Comanescu.
