Romanian President Klaus Iohannis would like to see more investment by German companies in his country, he said on May 25 during a visit by the German president. Germany has long been Romania's first trading partner and the second-largest investor in the country, Iohannis said in Sibiu, his hometown, accompanied by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. "German investments, their quality are highly appreciated in Romania," he said. "I hope that these will increase in the coming period, also with the support of the German minority." The German minority in Romania consists of 22,900 people, according to a census in 2021.
