Romanian President Pledges Support for Gaza Reconstruction at Board of Peace Meeting in Washington

Romanian President

Washington, DC, The Gulf Observer: Romanian President Nicușor Dan has reaffirmed Romania’s support for international efforts to rebuild the Gaza Strip, addressing the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington on Thursday.

Speaking at the summit convened by US President Donald Trump, President Dan emphasized Romania’s commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East, underlining the urgent need to assist civilian populations affected by years of conflict.

President Dan assured participating nations that Romania “can be counted on” in reconstruction efforts for Gaza, highlighting humanitarian support measures as well as long-term development contributions.

In his remarks, Dan reaffirmed Romania’s readiness to contribute to concrete initiatives that help restore essential services and infrastructure. This includes support for evacuating and treating children from Gaza, expanding scholarship opportunities for Palestinian students, and providing institutional expertise to help rebuild key civic agencies — such as emergency response services, education systems, and public administration.

The Board of Peace summit brought together heads of state, senior officials, and observers from around the world to discuss strategic plans for Gaza’s humanitarian recovery and reconstruction following extended conflict. Participating countries reviewed a comprehensive vision and action framework designed to coordinate international assistance and stabilisation efforts.

Romania attended the Washington meeting in observer status, reflecting its cautious but constructive approach to the initiative. President Dan’s participation underscores Bucharest’s intention to engage with global peace processes while maintaining alignment with broader international commitments.

The Board of Peace, launched earlier this year, aims to mobilize diplomatic and economic efforts toward long-term stability in Gaza and beyond. While some European states have adopted observer roles, others weigh formal membership against existing multilateral obligations.
