[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Romanian Prime Minister and the Speaker of the National Assembly visited Busan Port on the 22nd to share operational status and explore cooperation plans between Busan Port and Romania's Constan?a Port.

On the 23rd, Busan Port Authority (BPA) announced that Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae-Ionel Ciuc? and Speaker of the National Assembly Ion-Marcel Ciolacu, along with their delegation, visited Busan Port on the 22nd.

BPA and the Prime Minister's delegation shared the operational status of Busan Port, sought cooperation plans between Constan?a Port and Busan Port, and took time to promote Busan's bid for the 2030 Expo.

Constan?a Port is Romania's representative port and the largest port on the Black Sea, handling various cargo types such as containers, bulk, and liquid cargo, making it a major port in Europe.

Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, an average of 140 million tons of cargo annually, which used to be exported through Ukrainian ports, has been redirected to nearby ports including Constan?a, increasing its role and importance.

Accordingly, the Romanian Prime Minister's delegation stated, "We plan to benchmark the port construction and operational know-how of Busan Port, the world's second-largest transshipment port and seventh-largest container port, and seek cooperation plans between the ports."

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, "We appreciate the interest in Busan Port and hope to establish a good cooperative relationship between Busan Port, which is fulfilling its role as a global advanced port, and Constan?a Port, Romania's representative port whose importance has grown due to the Russia-Ukraine war."
