The United States, obviously, has a great interest in helping to maintain peace and security in Europe, and we have a formal alliance, NATO, to do so.

We have an interest in excellent relations because we are neighbours as Europeans with Russia. We are allies with the United States in the NATO framework.

To avoid the trap of Europe fragmenting on the economy, security, and identity, we have to return to the original promises of the European project: peace, prosperity and freedom. We should have a real, adult, democratic debate about the Europe we want.

We really believe our national interests are identical with European interests.

I am a committed European; a united Europe is Romania's future.

What we need is a common goal for more Europe.

We should seek to cooperate with Europe, not to divide Europe to a fictitious new and a fictitious old.

There are many conflicting interests in Europe.

We will continue to be a big contributor to NATO and our interests will be more secure.

What we have to do is reinvent the idea of Europe.
