Luca Niculescu and Kyriakos Mitsotakis discuss tax cooperation and economic projects between Romania and Greece

Romanian Prime Minister Luca Niculescu held a telephone conversation with his Greek counterpart, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, about strengthening relations between Romania and Greece, tax cooperation and expanding joint projects. Niculescu emphasized that Greece’s experience in tax administration and strengthening public finances could be useful to Romania.

The discussion also addressed the development of economic relations, as trade between the two countries reached €3.6 billion in 2025. Greek investors are present in Romania in sectors such as energy, renewable sources, commerce, the agri-food industry and railway infrastructure.

The two prime ministers examined the possibility of expanding joint projects in energy and transport, including to improve regional connections. According to the Greek Government, Greece can also support Romania in the digitalization of public services.

A new element is the intention to establish closer cooperation between the finance ministries and tax authorities of the two countries. Romania is seeking an exchange of experience and best practices in tax administration and fiscal consolidation. Niculescu also thanked the Greek prime minister for the support provided to Romania in its process of joining the OECD.
