Spain looks at large-scale infrastructure projects for boosting economic relations with Romania
Secretary of State for Trade with the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, Jaime Garcia Legaz, expressed his country's interest in the opportunities Romania has to offer to Spanish investors, and voiced readiness for giving bilateral economic relations a boost, including through large-scale infrastructure projects.
The subject was approached during a meeting this Friday with Secretary of State for European Affairs, George Ciamba, who is currently on a visit to Madrid, the Romanian Foreign Ministry informs.
On Thursday, George Ciamba met with Chairman of the Spanish Parliament's Joint Committee on European Affairs, Gerardo Camps Devesa, as well as with members of the same committee. The parties exchanged views on subjects of common interest in the line of European affairs, seen in the context of inter-parliamentary cooperation, as they sought ways to facilitate coordination on themes of bilateral interest at European level. Particular attention was given to talks on the involvement of national parliaments in decision-making on European affairs.
The Romanian official also met with the director of the Elcano Royal Institute, Charles Powell, with whom he discussed the participation of Romanian and Spanish international relations academic institutions in the process of debate and reflection on the strategic dimension of EU external actions. The stage of the reflection process directed towards the generation of a European Global Strategy was also assessed on this occasion.
