(ANSA-AFP) - BUCHAREST, JUN 2 - Britain's King Charles III
was received with military honours at Romania's presidential
palace in Bucharest on Friday, as he kicked off his solo visit
in the eastern European country. The anthems of Great Britain
and Romania sounded out as the country's President Klaus
Iohannis, who attended Charles' coronation in London last month,
welcomed the newly crowned king. The meet-and-greet on the red
carpet will be followed by a reception attended by about 300
people, including several government officials and civil society
members. Charles' trip to Romania is his first abroad since he
was crowned king on May 6. "The King has begun his first
overseas visit since his coronation, travelling to Romania for a
private solo stay in the country's Transylvanian region,"
according to Buckingham Palace. "It is not known how long
Charles will spend in Romania," it added. (ANSA-AFP).
