Japanese Prime Minister has shown that the future Partnership will lead to a substantial relationship between the two countries, and Romanian Head of State stressed that lifting the relationship at the level of Strategic Partnership comes at the right time and will produce beneficial effects not only on political level, but also on the economic one. There were also discussions on cooperation in the field of security and defense, including defense against ballistic missiles, based on Romania's experience in hosting the missile facility in Deveselu. Regarding the economic dimension of the bilateral relationship, the two senior officials expressed hope that the Japanese investments in Romania will be stimulated.
