Summary/Abstract: In this study, I would like to present a chapter of Romania’s foreign policy during the communist period, with reference to the opening and strengthening the long awaited political and economic relations between Socialist Romania and Egypt. The study focuses on the relations established, including directly, between the communist president Nicolae Ceaușescu and Egyptian president Anwar el Sadat, in order to reveal some aspects regarding the involvement of the Romanian president in the Egyptian Israeli peace negotiations of the 70s of the last century. I would like to show how the President N. Ceaușescu and Romanian diplomacy’s prestige became relevant in this part of the world and led to long term economic and political relationships between Socialist Romania and the Middle East countries.
