President of the Romanian Geographical Society

Your Royal Highness Princess Margareta,

Please allow me, on behalf of the over 3,500 members (professors, researchers, students) to express profound gratitude to His Majesty King Mihai I of Romania. Like King Carol I, who was the founder and first supporter of the Romanian Geographical Society (in 1875), His Majesty has remained by our side throughout his life, offering us continuous support.

In 2013, His Majesty granted us his High Patronage, and today, October 22, 2015, at Peleș Castle, on the occasion of celebrating the Society’s 140th anniversary, we were honored with the distinction of the CROSS OF THE ROYAL HOUSE OF ROMANIA.

Please allow me to wish His Majesty King Mihai I, on the occasion of his 94th birthday, good health and strength in fulfilling his noble aspirations for Romania and its people.
