Meet the USA

Romanian-American Relations

U.S.-Romanian diplomatic relations were formally established in 1880, with the appointment of Eugene Schuyler, a renowned and talented diplomat and historian, as the first American diplomatic representative to Romania. One hundred and twenty-five years after Schuyler first took up residence in Bucharest, the U.S.-Romanian bilateral relationship has matured into a strategic partnership that encompasses a wide range of political, military, economic and cultural ties. Particularly after Romania embraced democracy in the 1990s, U.S.-Romania relations broadened and deepened, leading to U.S. support for Romania’s entry into NATO and setting the stage for its full integration into Europe. Today, Romania is a strong ally of the United States, and the two countries work together to build democracy, fight terrorism and promote regional security and stability. This pamphlet is dedicated to exploring and celebrating the long and rich history of the U.S.-Romania relationship, and has been prepared with the assistance of the Romanian Foreign Ministry, the Library of the Romanian Academy, and with contributions from Mircea Raceanu, Roda Tinis, Teodor Popescu, David Williams, Florian Lungu, the Romanian Royal Family, Ioan Comsa, Eliot Sorel and Adrian Andries.
