Ionel Nitsu, president of the New Strategy Center think tank, said that the concept of a “strategic triangle of communication” involving Romania, Ukraine and Moldova relies on the port infrastructure of the Black Sea and the Danube, as well as on the railway and road corridors, which are already in the focus of the European Commission to expand the region’s transport capacities….
During the discussion at the forum, officials from the three countries emphasized the strategic role of developing logistics routes. They should provide not only economic and demographic mobility, but also, in a war situation, military capability.
Transportation and energy integration is seen as a platform for the active participation of private business in the reconstruction process. Moldovan and Ukrainian officials noted that only with the involvement of private capital and international companies can the country be fully rebuilt. They paid special attention to the importance of creating mechanisms for financing, insurance and reducing investment risks for businesses that will participate in joint projects.
The Romanian delegates emphasized that their country is ready to take a leading role in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. The President of the Romanian Senate, Mircea Abrudian, noted the unique geographical position of the state, which opens wide opportunities for logistics.
“Through the port of Constanta, the Danube ports and the development of rail and road infrastructure, Romania aims to become a central hub for cargo flows related to infrastructure, energy and industrial projects in Ukraine,” Mircea Abrudian said.
