During the meeting, the good relations between the Romanian Patriarchate and the Patriarchate of Georgia were emphasised. At the same time, the important role that Saint Hierarch Antim of Ivir, founder of Antim Monastery of Bucharest, had in the collaboration between the two sister Churches was underlined.
Also underscored was the cooperation between the two Churches, pointing out the need to keep the Orthodox unity in a world affected more and more by secularisation and division.
