Summary/Abstract: The first postwar Romanian trans-African expedition (1970-1971) and Nicolae Ceausescu's first tour of African countries (1972) were symbolic moments for the local communist regime`s global turn that began at the end of the 1960s. At the same time, these momentous events underlined Romania`s ambivalent and limited global presence in post-colonial world before 1970.
