President Maia Sandu met the head of the Romanian diplomacy, Bogdan Aurescu, who is on a working visit to Chisinau. The officials discussed the very good cooperation between the two countries, including in this very difficult year for all of us.
"I expressed my appreciation for Romania's quick and unconditional response to help us overcome the biggest energy crisis in the country's history. Deliveries of electricity and fuel oil during this critical period saved us," said President Maia Sandu. The Head of State also thanked for the direct budgetary support of ten million euros granted through the Moldova Support Platform.
President Maia Sandu stressed that our relations with Romania are closer than ever and that in the coming year we want them to be even closer. "We have important infrastructure and economic integration projects on the agenda, to increase investment and trade. We are counting on Romania for the interconnection of power systems. We want to start the construction of the Ungheni-Ungheni bridge as soon as possible and make the Leova-Bumbăta bridge operational. We want to simplify road connections and in this way also the connections between people", said President Maia Sandu.
