Emil Hurezeanu, Romania's Minister of Foreign Affairs, has reassured that there are no confirmed intentions to alter spheres of influence, referencing Romania's historical fall under Soviet influence. He emphasized Romania's security through NATO, EU membership, and a strategic partnership with the USA. He dismissed reports of US-Russia discussions on European influence division, particularly at Riyadh, and assured no US troop withdrawal from Eastern Europe. Hurezeanu advised Romania to engage in ongoing negotiations to avoid returning to Russian influence, following conflicting statements from another official.
