“My visit to Chisinau, a place of heart for Romanians, gives me the opportunity to reaffirm my unconditional support for the Republic of Moldova on its European path, but also for the development of the economy, the implementation of reforms and the well-being of all its citizens. I would like to particularly appreciate the exemplary way in which the authorities of the Republic of Moldova have managed, with broad international support, to manage the security situation and the current threats. Romania will always stand by the Republic of Moldova, no matter how difficult the security issues in the region are”, said Prime Minister Nicolae-Ionel Ciucă.
