BUCHAREST, Romania — Mar 9, 2015, 4:53 PM ET
Romanian officials were left red-faced after Germany's foreign minister was handed a brochure with a map of France on Monday.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier received the gift from Romanian counterpart Bogdan Aurescu at the end of a news conference to mark 135 years of diplomatic relations.
Romania's Foreign Ministry later apologized, saying it had received the brochure in the morning containing the "regrettable technical error" — the colors of the German flag contained within the map of France — from national news agency Agerpres.
Aurescu apologized to Steinmeier during a visit later to the city of Sibiu. Steinmeier responded diplomatically, saying he hadn't even noticed the gaffe, the ministry said.
