Acting President of the Senate Alina Gorghiu received, on Wednesday, the Ambassador of Japan, Hiroshi Ueda, on a courtesy visit, a meeting during which she expressed her condolences for the assassination of the former prime minister Shinzo Abe, noting that the Japanese leader will remain in the memory of the Romanian nation as the initiator of the bilateral strategic partnership between the two countries, launched in 2018 together with President Klaus Iohannis, informs a Senate press release sent to AGERPRES.
Gorghiu emphasized the importance of Romanian-Japanese cooperation in the line of parliamentary diplomacy, through the boosting of the activity of the Romania-Japan Parliamentary Friendship Group, but also the organization of events aimed at promoting the cultures of the two states.
