Undoubtedly, it is the time to recover the markets we abandoned so quickly after 1989, which led to the decrease of the economic production and unemployment.

Dubai-ul trebuie sa fie gazda EXPOZITIEI MONDIALE din 2020, deoarece doar anul trecut peste 51 de milioane de pasageri au trecut prin tranzit in Dubai,iar mai mult de 10 milioane au ales orasul pentru o sedere indelungata. In plus Dubai-ul gazduieste mai mult de 200 de evenimente de rasunet international anual si este un oras primitor pentru mai mult de 200 de nationalitati.

Dubai-ul este orasul din zona Golfului Arabic ce cunoaste cea mai rapida crestere demografica si economica, este simbolul schimbarii geopolitice ce pune Asia in centrul dezvoltarii economice si politice mondiale si beneficiaza de un impresionant spatiu pentru EXPOZITIA MONDIALA din 2020 si reprezinta centrul natural pentru comertul intre Asia-Africa , Europa si America de Sud via Africa, pe ceea ce este cunoscut sub numele de Noul Drum al Matasii in secolul XXI.

Acestea creeaza fundalul unei relatii strategice si pe termen lung intre tarile noastre, a concluzionat, in aplauzele asistentei,  Presedintele Camerei Deputatilor.

Intre Romania si Emiratele Arabe Unite exista o lunga traditie, de peste 25 de ani de cooperare diplomatica si aplicarea deciziei, demna de mentionat de a isi sustine reciproc candidaturile si toate initiativele in plan international si in organismele internationale.

Ca atare decizia Romaniei de a sprijini candidatura orasului Dubai pentru EXPO 2020 a fost o decizie naturala, inscrisa in cadrul acordurilor reciproce si parte a lungii traditii de colaborare diplomatica intre cele doua tari….votul de sprijin pentru orasul Dubai ca organizator al EXPOZITIEI MONDIALE din 2020 vine in continuarea acestei decizii.

In discursul fostului presedinte al Romaniei-Emil Constantinescu se precizeaza: ″cu aceste argumente nu este o surpriza pentru nimeni ca Dubai-ul a castigat sustinerea Romaniei, o alegere naturala deoarece  Romania este interesata de toate cele trei mari obiective pe care Expozitia Dubai si le-a propus : dezvoltarea durabila, economisirea energiei si a apelor, sprijinirea mobilitatii oamenilor, bunurilor si ideilor in ceea ce Dubai-ul numeste : Noul Drum al Matasii al secolului XXI si descoperirea de noi oportunitati economice si noi modele de dezvoltare.

Ca atare, nu pot decat sa felicit Guvernul si Parlamentul Romaniei pentru  decizia de a sprijinii Dubai-ul in atingerea ambitioaselor sale obiective pentru Expozitia Mondiala, sa felicit Ambasada Emiratelor Arabe Unite pentru succesul obtinut, si sa va invit sa vedeti aceasta frumoasa Expozitie gazduita de Parlament.

Astfel intr-o rara ceremonie profesori, oameni politici, reprezentanti ai corpului academic au asistat la semnarea decretului de acordare a premiului de recunoastere internationala  OM AL ANULUI ( MEN OF THE YEAR) pentru Presedintele Republicii Turkmenistan Excelenta Sa Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov .

 Cu aceasta ocazie prof.dr Anton Caragea, directorul Institutului de Relatii Internationale si Cooperare Economica a sustinut o scurta alocutiune  despre insemnatatea momentului:   „Acest titlu noi il acordam extrem de rar si numai dupa o indelungata analiza, deoarece cei care primesc acest titlu sunt lideri ai secolului , opera lor deşi concentrata intr-un an se reflecta in decenii de realizari si de actiune pozitiva asupra popoarelor . In plus avem de aparat nu doar prestigiul premiului, dar si al Institutului nostru , considerat al doilea Institut de Relatii Internationale ca activitate diplomatica la nivel mondial”.

Printre motivele ce au dus la luarea acestei decizii in unanimitate se numara:

–         realizarea unei sustinute cresteri economice ce a permis Turkmenistanului o dezvoltare rapida, construirea unei economii de piata solide dar bazate in acelasi timp de redistributia echitabila a veniturilor si cu un pronuntat caracter social

–         dezvoltarea continua a bazei sociale a poporului Turkmen prin investitii in sanatate  si educatie , investitii ce raspund celor mai sacre si inalienabile drepturi ale omului: dreptul la viata, la sanatate si la educatie

–         dezvoltarea continua a patrimoniului cultural si istoric al poporului Turkmen, transformarea capitalei Ashabad  intr-un centrul de legatura intre Europa si Asia si intr-un pol de civilizatie si far de dezvoltare pentru intreaga regiune.

S-a dat totodata citire si scrisorii Excelentei Sale Presedintelui Romaniei Traian Basescu adresata, cu ocazia Zilei Nationale a Turkmenistanului, Presedintelui Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov . In scrisoare presedintele Romaniei adreseaza cele mai calde felicitari poporului turkmen pentru extraordinarele sale realizari si il invita oficial pe presedintele Turkmenistanului in vizita in Romania in 2011declarand ca: „aceasta va fi o ocazie pentru continuarea dialogului la nivel inalt si identificarea de noi proiecte de colaborare in beneficiul celor doua popoare.. intarirea dialogului politic bilateral , reluarea cooperarii romano-turkmene in mai multe sfere de activitate inclusiv in cea economica … toate au creat conditiile pentru o dezvoltare sustinuta a relatiei dintre Romania si Turkmenistan” .

Acordarea celei mai inalte distinctii culturale romanesti si invitatia oficiala adresata Presedintelui Turkmenistanului de a vizita Romania si sentimentele exprimate de elita culturala si diplomatica a României, sunt toate dovezile unei relatii in permanenta dezvoltare ce poate constitui un exemplu pentru multe tari . Prietenia romano-turkmena are cele mai solide baze.
