To ask the Prime Minister pursuant to the Answer of 28 February 2008, Official Report, columns 1798-9W, on Romania, if he will make it his policy to make an official visit to Romania other than to attend an EU or NATO conference, during 2008; and if he will make a statement. (192843)

The Government are working to strengthen ties between the UK and Romania and we welcomed Prime Minister Tariceanu’s visit to the UK in December 2007. I am looking forward to the NATO Summit in Bucharest. For security reasons, my future engagements are announced as and when appropriate.
