Romanians should say in five years that their country is the one which stunned the world with its transformation and reconstruction, the new President Klaus Iohannis has said.

At his swearing-in ceremony which took place on Sunday, he thanked his fellow countrymen for "showing the whole world Romania's true face," Romania-Insider quoted him as saying.

Iohannis added he wished to transform Romania into a place where people have a different state of mind and social climate. In his words, Romania needs changes in education, health and social security.

Klaus Iohannis, an ethnic German, won the November 17 run-off of the presidential vote in Romania, surprisingly defeating Prime Minister Victor Ponta.

Within 24 hours after securing a victory, he argued that the country's executive should resign, and also that Romania should consider early elections sometime in 2015.
