“Romania is committed to strengthening cooperation with China and attaches great importance to developing relations with China in various fields,” said Iulia Dangulea, counsellor from Romania’s Ministry of Tourism.
“There is a lot of space for promoting tourism between Romania and China and the Belt and Road Initiative can be a way of boosting tourism in both countries,” added Dangulea.
