(...) Also, amid the current security context, we promoted the message that Romania is ready and can become a regional hub for the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war. The initiative could involve an active collaboration between Romanian and Japanese companies to bring expertise and resources in the reconstruction process, which significantly benefit both countries and contribute to the stabilisation and reconstruction of the region affected by conflicts.
