According to the head of state, France is an important partner of Moldova, with the relation between the two countries being due both to the affiliation with the area of Francophonie and ever stronger economic, cultural and inter-human relations.

The development projects which France will carry out in Moldova through AFD will consolidate even more this friendship and will contribute to the improvement of our citizens’ living standards,’’ Maia Sandu said.
