Summary/Abstract: The present analysis deals with the historic visit of President Charles de Gaulle in Romania, in May 1968. The moment was as much important as Ceaușescu’s regime found a remarkable opening toward the Occidental offices at the time; it was in fact a true diplomatic offensive indubitably promoted by Nicolae Ceaușescu himself, with Ion Gheorghe Maurer’s decisive assistance. Nicolae Ceaușescu, general secretary of the Romanian Communist Party, was taken by Occident at that time for a virulent objector to the Soviet domination in East-Europe communist camp. The great French dignitary’s visit was an expression of the large sympathy Romania enjoyed all over the world within a period of extreme international political tension.
