Debate: Meeting with Romanian defense industry representatives, special guest David RADER, Deputy Director Office of the Secretary of Defence, Office of Foreign Investment Review
In the margins of the visit of Mr. David RADER, Deputy Director of the Office of Global Foreign Investments within the Department of Defense, USA, to Romania, visit organized by the Political Research Group, we organized a meeting with representatives of the defense industry on the Magurele industrial platform, at Optoelectronica 2001 SA.
In the meetings held with parliamentarians, government representatives, companies from the defense industry, and in the debates with the academic environment and with representatives of the NATO partner armies, we touched topics such as economic security, the screening of foreign investments, the development of an ecosystem in Romania that to be aligned with US investment standards. Also, a discussion was opened about ways to work so that Romania can benefit from concrete US investments and as quickly as possible.
The general conclusion was that we want an economic component developed on both sides of the US-Romania Strategic Partnership that also includes a fair investment protection system, especially a predictable and transparent fiscal system, to attract as many investments as possible in strategic areas for Romania.
We continue to build the widest possible ties with American partners, in all areas of interest. This visit was a first step in this regard, we are in the process of organizing a dialogue and work platform made up of relevant actors to boost the attraction of US investments in Romania in strategic fields and in research and development programs, as The President of the Political Research Group mentioned in the interview given to Calea Europeana.
The transatlantic relationship grows stronger as all of us who have joined it feed it with concrete projects, so it gains substance and creates spaces for future opportunities.
