Romania signs for EUR 315 mln Japanese financing for airport tube

The EUR 315 million Japanese loan which will fuel the construction of the Bucharest – Henri Coanda airport tube network has been recently signed in Tokyo by the Romanian government representatives and their Japanese counterparts during a visit in Tokyo. Romanian president Traian Basescu and the Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama attended the meeting, while the loan contract was signed by finance minister Sebastian Vladescu and Japan International Cooperation Agency president Sadako Ogata. The line will connect downtown Bucharest to the international airport, providing a much needed alternative to driving through the crowded city center.
