Romania and the New Silk Road

Romania, as a troop-contributing-nation of ISAF, has been a staunch ally of the United States in the Afghan conflict. Currently Romania has special operations forces and Military Advisor Teams (SFAATs) deployed in Afghanistan. Along with the fight in Afghanistan, Romania is also involved in the larger stabilization effort of the greater Central Asia region (which indirectly will benefit Afghanistan). Notable among these efforts is Romania's involvement with the New Silk Road.
