The opening festivity took place in the morning at the press conter of RADIO ROMANIA which was named after the man that, among others, initiated this seminar, the first director general of THE ROMANIAN RADIO BROADCASTING CORPORATION after December 1989, Eugen Preda.The opening speech was delivered by Doru Ionescu, deputy director general of RADIO ROMANIA and head of RADIO ROMANIA INTERNATIONAL who welcomed all the guests and the participating hosts. Among other things Doru Ionescu said that debated are themes linked to the language, culture and history of the Romanian language; one of the aims of the seminar is the establishment of partnership in radio programme making to the benefit of all listeners. The debates of the seminar take the participants from Bucharest on to Arad and Hunedoara and then to Hungary (as this seminar is a first in cooperation between Romanian and Hungarian national public radio organizations) to Szegedin and Gyula where there are Romanian language regional stations of RADIO BUDAPEST as there is a large Romanian community living in that area of neighboring Hungary. Mr. Ionescu concluded his introductory remarks by saying that he hoped the debates would contribute to the strengthening of the strategies of partnership between RADIO ROMANIA and any as well as all of the radio organizations represented at the ninth edition of the seminar ROMANIAN LANGUAGE - MEANS OF RADIO COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION. The Director General of the ROMANIAN RADIO BROADCASTING CORPORATION Andrei Radu Dimitriu was then introduced to the audience at the EUGEN PREDA Press Center of our corporation and he delivered the first paper of the sympozium under the heading MISSION AND TARGET OF THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE PROGRAMMES. In the following we give you a fragment of the presentation. Andrei Radu Dimitriu, Director General of RADIO ROMANIA said among other things: " It is an important event for all of us the radio people that participate in and attend this seminar and sympozium. We suggest and promote radio partnership that should contribute to the strengthening of better communication and knowledge of all radio listeners of Romanian language programmes. Naturally these Romanian speaking listeners live in various countries which makes them partake of different cultural environments. The follow up of the process of globalization which is favored by the information highway is cultural interaction which becomes deeper and more rapid. The world in which we live and work is ever more diversified while the risk of loosing one's own identity increases in the natural effort of all individuals to be integrated in a system which is validated by the democratic civilized regions of our world. May I quote here Doctor Michael Neumann, secretary of state with the Federal Chancellory of Germany, also responsible for media and culture, who said that culture must be understood as a civilizing activity which must be renewed all the time by the positive contribution of all communities irrespective of the fact that they might represent minoritary or majoritary cultures as they all are as valuable. Each people has its own language and cultural model, this is known by all. However, in this context I would like to recall that the Romanian philosopher Noica has said that language is not only language, it is thought and conscience and horizon, it is spontaneity and creativity. It is by your language that you are and are active from the cultural point of view, in the political and social spheres as well ". Then the Director General of RADIO ROMANIA referred to the importance of the big radio stations representating big radio organizations and their role in maintaining hope in the hearts of the people of this country after which he imparted to the radio people that attended the first day of the seminar some of the projects of the Administration Council to modernize and move forward with the time all the activities unfolded at RADIO ROMANIA. Mr. Dimitriu then spoke about the necessity of cooperation and collaboration so that the listeners of the Romanian language programmes broadcast by the 25 represented radio stations should answer the expectations of all radio listeners to the highest possible level. Then spoke the representative of the Government of Romania, Viorel Badea, secretary of state, head of the Department for relations with the Romanians living outside the borders of Romania. The other themes of the sympozium today are DEVELOPMENT OF RADIO PARTNERSHIP, A ROMANIAN - ROMANIAN RELATIONSHIP, BUILDING AN INSTITUTION, CULTURE AND HISTORY OF ROMANIA OR CULTURE AND HISTORY OF THE ROMANIANS.
