| There has been an exchange of letters between Minister for Foreign Affairs George Yeo and Romanian Foreign Minister Teodor Baconschi on the case of Dr Silviu Ionescu. | |
In two separate letters, Minister Yeo informed Minister Baconschi of the appointment of Singapore's Ambassador in Brussels as Singapore's Special Envoy to Romania, and of the forthcoming visit to Bucharest by the Special Envoy. Minister Baconschi, in his two replies, welcomed the visit of our Special Envoy and expressed readiness to extend full support for our Special Envoy's mission. Minister Baconschi also assured Minister Yeo of the Romanian authorities' strong commitment to fully observe the legal procedures in this case, and underscored their determination to enforce the law to its utmost extent. The Ministry of Foreign affairs welcomes these assurances from the Romanian Foreign Minister himself. We will extend the fullest possible cooperation to the Romanian authorities to ensure that justice is served. |
