This agreement will cover a wide range of issues, but the Prime Minister said he will also pursue a specific agreement relating to helping with disaster preparedness and management, and have discussions on education.

“We have to look for markets there too, we have to look for investors there too…and Romania has been advancing,” Gonsalves said on radio NBC Radio on Wednesday, March 26,2025.

The Prime Minister noted that the region needs to further explore relations with countries in Eastern Europe.
