Romanian Foreign Minister Adrian Cioroianu met the US state secretary, Condolezza Rice, the agenda including discussions about Russia and the anti-rocket shield.
The US appreciates the "important partnership" with Romania in various regions of the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan, emphasized the US state secretary.
The US - Romanian partnership, the strategic importance of the Black Sea area, Russia and the anti-rocket shield were the main topics of the meeting.
During the Rice-Cioroianu meeting, the NATO summit in 2008, scheduled to take place in Bucharest, was another important point, given the fact that Albania, Croatia and Macedonia may be invited to join the Alliance next year.
During a meeting with the press, Cioroianu declared that he submitted a list containing suggestions for 20 Romanian ambassador seats to president Traian Basescu, including for the critical embassy in the US.
