During her visit, President Murmu will hold talks with Romanian President Nicusor Dan and interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. She will likely meet Romania Senate President Mircea Abrudean, Chamber of Deputies President Sorin Grindeanu and members of the Romania–India Parliamentary Friendship Group.

The President will also address the India-Romania Business Forum and interact with members of the Indian community in Romania.

Highlighting the significance of the visit, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had stated last week, “Romania is a valuable partner in the European Union and with the conclusion of the India-European Union (EU) Free Trade Agreement (FTA), bilateral economic partnership would strengthen further in the coming years. The State Visit to three countries by the Hon’ble President reflects the importance India attaches to strengthening its bilateral ties with these countries along with India’s engagement with the wider Eastern European region.”

President Murmu had departed India on Sunday for the three-nation tour.

Earlier this week, while addressing the Assembly of North Macedonia, President Murmu said, “We meet at a critical juncture in human history. The geopolitical and economic centres of gravity are shifting. In this new era, India views Southeast Europe not as a region on the margins but as a dynamic theatre of growth and innovation.”
