"We're decided to impose a new, pragmatic level of our bilateral collaboration," said Boc.

Netanyahu said he wishes to encourage Romanian producers to export more to Israel, adding authorities in both countries want to expand their economic relations.

"Israel likes Romania, it is a unique relationship we will try to expand," Netanyahu said.

The Israeli prime minister is visiting Romania on Wednesday, the first such visit to Romania during the past 20 years. Netanyahu will also meet with Romanian President Traian Basescu.

Jerusalem Post noted Netanyahu has scheduled visits to Romania and Bulgaria within a diplomatic campaign against UN's possible recognition of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu will also visit Poland and Hungary, as the four former communist countries are among the most friendly countries toward Israel in the EU.

The vote of the UN General Assembly on the recognition of a Palestinian state is scheduled for September.
