1. Dear Mr. Ambassador George Maior you have been Romanias ambassador to Washington since 2015. Now we are in 2019. How do you consider at the end of the day in the last part of your mandate the Romanian-American relations with achievements and desires?
I think we have had at the end of the day good results because we have had perhaps the most important qualitative growth of the strategic partnership with the USA in the last years: two presidential visits n" visits at the government level an increase of the economic exchanges. So there are many achievements
2. Ambassador lets continue. Please describe in this election year for Romania the challenges facing the Romanian Embassy in Washington.
We organize the elections normally we are very well prepared and we take care of our diplomatic mission which is permanently linked to the strengthening of the strategic partnership
3. Last question Ambassador. Can you share some of your thoughts for the future after your term in Washington is over?
I hope it lasts as long as possible. And with this I try to do my daily duty to the country and to this vital relationship for Romania.
4. Thank you Ambassador.
Thank you.
