History
The position of the ambassador was first created on 30 December 2020 along with the creation of a full-fledged mission. The first ambassador was Tudor Alessandro who served in office until his honourable dismissal on 5 February 2021. Upon his dismissal, Cristian Dobrev was appointed as the ambassador who further remained in office until his removal on 22 September 2021. Ested Vlasyn, was thereupon appointed as the ambassador and later also served as the Minister of External Affairs during his tenure. He served in office until his resignation in March 2022.
Following the resignation of Ested Vlasyn on 15 March 2022, former Prime Minister Ștefan Marius Snagoveanu and then serving Rajyapal of Basistha, was appointed as the Ambassador to Romania with concurrent accreditation to the Republic of Moldova. In a cabinet decision, the regular diplomatic missions accredited to macronations which are unilaterally recognized by Vishwamitra were reorganized to honorary status on 8 May 2023. Thereupon, the ambassador was re-designated as honorary ambassador. Snagoveanu continued to serve as honorary ambassador in Romania until the mission's dissolution on 28 February 2024 following a decision of the Ministry of External Affairs to dissolve all honorary missions, thereby discharging all honorary diplomats from their office.
The representative office in Romania was re-established on 12 August 2024 and Ștefan Marius Snagoveanu was re-appointed as the head of the mission for the second time.
