Romania supports China's efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Romanian State Secretary George Ciamba said on Tuesday.

Bucharest understands and supports the planned deliberation of an anti-secession draft law by the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress, which is scheduled for Dec. 25-29, Ciamba said at a meeting with Chinese ambassador to Romania, Xu Jian.

Romania will unswervingly adhere to the one-China policy, he said.
