At St Peter's Square on 21 April 2010, Minister George Yeo took the opportunity to discuss the Ionescu case with Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodor Baconschi. By chance, they were both waiting for their audience with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.

Minister Yeo expressed the anguish which Singaporeans felt on the case and emphasised the importance of justice being done. Minister Baconschi replied that he was sympathetic to the feelings of Singaporeans and informed Minister Yeo that the matter was being given the highest attention by the Romanian authorities. He added that Romania was pursuing the full legal course. He assured Minister Yeo that justice would be done.

Both Ministers committed themselves to good bilateral relations. Minister Baconschi then extended an invitation to Minister Yeo to visit Bucharest.
