Dear Friends

The Romanian Social Forum acts on the basis of the World Social Forum
Charter of Principles and stands for developing its external relations with
all democratic and progressive social movements from Europe and from all
over the world, based on equality, friendship, solidarity, cooperation,
respect, consensus in decision making, non-interference in the internal
problems of other social movements.

In our external relations we promote mutually advantageous cooperation
and we stand for the militant confrontation with: neo-liberalism, arming,
war, racism, neo-colonialism, savage privatization, unemployment,
illiteracy, poor medical assistance and work conditions and failures of the
institutions which plan and implement these policies nationally and
internationally - governments, the European Union, international
organizations and others.

On this framework the Romanian Social Forum will develop its bilateral and
multilateral relations of friendship and cooperation militating for
democracy, progress and peace for a better world of the people for the
people.

We'll be very honoured to learn from your experience and to establish
common initiatives as good friends and direct connections between all our
branches.


With solidarity and friendship,

Constantin Cretu
President of Initiative and Coordination Committee of Romanian Social Forum
