Romanian Ambassador to Sri Lanka Victor Chiujdea said IT-skilled youth of Sri Lanka have the potential and opportunity to join companies and multinational corporations in Romania.

The Ambassador made these remarks when he called on Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena at Temple Trees recently.

The Prime Minister’s Office said they discussed on the bilateral relations between the two countries and the steps Sri Lanka is taking to overcome the current economic crisis.

Ambassador Chiujdea said many leading multinationals are investing heavily in Romania and there will be many opportunities for skilled IT workers from Asian countries including Sri Lanka to find employment. He also said there is potential to explore thousands of jobs for IT specialists in multinational companies as well as in Romanian companies.

“A group of Sri Lankan academics will shortly visit Romania to discuss cooperation in the field of higher education through an exchange visit supported by the European Union,” Ambassador Chiujdea added. He also said Romania would sign an agreement with Sri Lanka to avoid double taxation to facilitate trade between the two countries.

The Prime Minister extended his appreciation for Romania’s support to Sri Lanka and made a special mention of the Romanian railway compartments and rails provided to Sri Lanka.
