Life and political career

Stoian was born in Telega, Prahova County on 28 November 1927.[1] He joined the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) in 1945[2] and served on the PCR Bureau of the Grivița district of Bucharest.[3] He served as the Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade and International Economic Cooperation from 7 April 1979 until 22 November 1985.[4]

He served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2 November 1989 until 22 December 1989, when the Ceaușescu regime was overthrown.[5][6] As the Romanian Revolution was unfolding, Stoian accompanied Ceaușescu on his last visit to a foreign country; from 18 to 20 December, the two went to Tehran, where they met the President of Iran, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.[2]

Stoian was arrested on 19 January 1990[2] and sentenced to 14 years. He was pardoned by President Ion Iliescu and released in March 1994. He died in 2012.[7]
