AGERPRES special correspondent Dana Piciu reports: City of London Lord Mayor Alastair King declared on Wednesday in the opening of the Romania - UK Economic Forum that Romania and the United Kingdom have a mutually beneficial partnership built on strong diplomatic, military and economic ties, as well as on the values of peace, friendship and free trade, CE Report quotes Agerpres

The relationship between Romania and the United Kingdom dates back hundreds of years - indeed, thousands of years if we consider that the Dacian troops on the territory of today's Romania were part of the Roman forces stationed here 18 centuries ago. Moving forward to the present, we have a mutually beneficial partnership built on strong diplomatic, military and economic ties, as well as on the shared values of peace, friendship and free trade. These economic ties have led to the rise in the amount of trade between our nations to 9.5 billion GBP over the last year, while interpersonal ties that connect the two nations along the direction of common efforts reflect in the fact that Romanian is currently the second most spoken foreign language in the United Kingdom, Alastair King said in the opening of the Forum, which he attended together with Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu.
