On Friday and Saturday, Bucharest is hosting the extraordinary congress of the Social Democratic Party, member of the governing coalition in Romania. The main issues on the agenda cover the election of a new party leadership and amendments to the party statute. On Friday, the congress adopted a new draft statute, which brings as a first the position of executive president, in charge of coordinating central current activities, international communication with the county branches and the Diaspora and communication with the central and local institutions and authorities and other parties and organizations, in Romania or abroad. The current party president, PM Victor Ponta, will most likely be reconfirmed.
The Governor of the National Bank of Romania Mugur Isarescu and the Minister Delegate for Budget Liviu Voinea are attending the three-day Spring Meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington. On Thursday Liviu Voinea discussed with the US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Treasury Christopher Smart Romania’s plans to sign a new agreement with the IMF, European fund absorption in Romania and means of strengthening banking surveillance mechanisms at EU level.
During his visit to Bucharest, the Commander of US Army Europe General Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell awarded medals to 10 Romanian soldiers who took part in military operations in Afghanistan. The Romanian soldiers had been previously decorated by US military structures during their participation in missions in Afghanistan. Campell thanked the Romanian soldiers for their remarkable military achievements in that country. At present Romania has some 1,500 Romanian soldiers deployed in Afghanistan.
The US-NATO anti-ballistic shield does not target the Russian Federation, Romanian State Secretary for Strategic Affairs Bogdan Aurescu reasserted at the international security conference held in Bratislava. The Romanian official highlighted Romania’s contribution to allied efforts of securing anti-ballistic defence, including cooperation with the United States in building the anti-ballistic shield. The statement came after Russia and the United States agreed, several days ago, to resume dialogue in the field in ballistic defence. Moscow had previously demanded written guarantees from Washington that the US shield deployed in Europe did not target the country’s dissuasion capacity. We recall that shield interceptors are due to be set up at the military camp in Deveselu, southern Romania.

The Romanians Larisa Iordache, Diana Bulimar, Flavius Koczi and Andrei Muntean will also take part in the apparatus finals, on Saturday and Sunday.
