Romania Outlines Priorities for EU Enlargement, Investment, and Strategic Goals

The Government Programme submitted by Prime Minister-designate Siegfried Muresan outlines several foreign policy priorities for Romania. These priorities include attracting strategic American investors and major investment funds to public companies, as well as joining the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) by the end of the year. The programme also calls for a political agreement on the Multiannual Financial Framework 2028–2034 by the end of 2026.

The programme emphasizes maintaining allocations for cohesion and agriculture, securing substantial own resources for the EU budget, and gaining access to competitiveness instruments such as Horizon Europe and defence funding. These goals are set within the context of a 'pro-European and transatlantic Romania' and include strengthening the Eastern Flank via a maritime security hub on the Black Sea.
