Eugen Tomac, Romania’s designated prime minister, has nominated Luca Niculescu as his choice for Foreign Minister. Niculescu currently serves as a State Secretary within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Prior to his diplomatic career, Niculescu spent over two decades as a journalist. He transitioned to diplomacy ten years ago, serving as Romania’s ambassador to Paris. If appointed, a key objective for Niculescu would be to finalize Romania’s accession process to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The nomination signals a continuation of experienced leadership within the Foreign Ministry.
