Chisinau, 21 October /MOLDPRES/- Romanian authorities are willing to provide Moldova with fuel oil.

Acting Minister of Energy of Romania Virgil Popescu said that the Romanian state is ready to send fuel oil to Moldova. He said that Romania has enough resources to afford this aid.

Romania will be able to send fuel oil as needed, it is not a problem. Refineries in Romania can produce enough fuel oil both for domestic consumption and to help Moldova, and we are studying with colleagues in Chisinau to help them. We have permanent contact at the level of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the level of the Ministry of Energy, "Transgaz" directly with the transmission operator across the Prut and I am convinced that the Republic of Moldova will not run out of gas ", he said.
