I received and accepted this appointment with honor, but especially with a deep sense of responsibility, understanding the challenges that await me and the sincere desire to contribute, with all the expertise accumulated in over 22 years of foreign policy and international relations, to the promotion and consolidation of Romania's strategic interests in a complicated international context.

Not through slogans, but through real, professional, discreet, effective work.

Through the work and sacrifices of my parents (simple people from a country in a village in Prahova) but with the determination of giving their children the best dowries, education, I had the privilege of a solid academic training and a career that taught me the importance of independence and integrity.“Add it.
