Romania committed to role in Iraq, Afghanistan

Romania, which joined the European Union on Jan. 1 and became a NATO member in 2004, has 600 troops in Iraq, 800 in Afghanistan and 230 in the western Balkans.

Last year, then-Defense Minister Teodor Atanasiu clashed with Basescu after he proposed withdrawing troops from Iraq.

Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu, who like Atanasiu is from the Liberal Party, backed the minister's proposal, but Basescu and Romania's top defense body, the supreme defense council, overruled them and decided the troops should stay.

During the meeting with foreign diplomats at the presidential palace, Basescu also said Romania wanted to improve relations with Israel and Arab countries.

"We want to rebuild ... the traditional relations that Romania had with Middle Eastern states," he said.
