2026 Declared as 'Year of the USA in Romania'

The year 2026 will mark a significant celebration of the United States in Romania, as Parliament has officially adopted a law initiated by the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR). This initiative aims to strengthen the cultural ties between the two nations through a variety of events.

Throughout 2026, there will be a series of conferences, public debates, cultural events, academic activities, and educational programs designed to foster engagement and understanding between Romania and the USA. The law also includes plans for public diplomacy efforts that will further enhance the relationship between the two countries.

Local and central public administration authorities are encouraged to provide logistical and material support for these events, ensuring a well-coordinated effort. Additionally, Romania's public broadcasting services will have the opportunity to reserve up to 1% of their broadcasting time to showcase materials dedicated to the 'Year of the United States in Romania', amplifying the initiative's reach and impact.

This comprehensive approach highlights a commitment to developing Romanian-American relations, creating an environment of collaboration and shared cultural appreciation.
