The Romanian government will discuss with the Chinese ambassador to Romania to see what China's needs are in the wake of the earthquakes that hit it on Monday and Tuesday, Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu announced on Tuesday.

The prime minister stressed that there is a need for a move of solidarity with the Chinese people at this time.

"We must have additional elements, so as to see the type of assistance we can provide. (...) They'll indicate us the critical areas that need intervention," he added.

Tariceanu said Romania can offer medicines, tents or clothing.
