Curierul Național is a Romanian-language daily newspaper, first published on December 5, 1990. The paper is owned by the Păunescu family through Media Sud Publishing, and focuses on economic and financial news, covering companies, energy, agriculture, taxation, real estate, and tourism, alongside domestic politics, foreign affairs, culture, and sport. The paper describes itself as “an independent publication, with no political affiliation,” stating that its funding is “exclusively private, 100% from advertising, announcements, or commercial contracts.” In its own 35th-anniversary retrospective, the outlet describes itself as a founding member and Board of Co-Chairs member of the Belt and Road Economic Information Partnership (一帶一路經濟信息共享網絡), an economic-information-sharing network launched in Beijing in June 2019 by China’s state news agency Xinhua (新華社), and separately describes itself as a “partner of CCTV News Agency.”
