The President of Romania stated: "We have decided to join the declaration of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan on ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a fundamental principle of international law. Romania's participation in this action is against the backdrop of the severe impact of the strait's closure on global energy markets and the world economy. These impacts are also reflected in Romania, particularly in fuel prices. Therefore, we are prepared to participate in the international community's efforts to maintain prices at an affordable level for the people. Romania has made it clear that it will not participate in the Middle East conflict and will work with international partners to achieve de-escalation."
