The first telephone line between Romania and the United States was inaugurated on November 9, 1931, through a conversation between the Romanian minister of Foreign Affairs, Dimitrie I. Ghica, and the U.S. Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson? The telephone conversation took place at 17.00, Bucharest time, and 10.00, Washington time, respectively.
