Radio Romania International (Romanian: Radio România Internațional, or RRI) is a Romanian radio station owned by the Romanian public radio broadcaster Societatea Română de Radiodifuziune (SRR, the national public radio in Romania) that broadcasts abroad. It was created in 1927 and was known as Radio Bucharest before 1989.
According to Romanian Law No. 41/1994, republished, the SRR produces and broadcasts programs in the Romanian language and other languages for a worldwide audience to promote the image of Romania and its internal and external politics. As a result, inside the SRR is Departamentul Radio România Internațional (Department Radio Romania International), which owns two radio stations.
