Exchange of best practices between Moldova and Spain on advancing EU accession negotiations discussed in Chișinău

The progress of European Union accession negotiations and the next steps for the Republic of Moldova were the main topics of a meeting between Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Cristina Gherasimov and Spain's Secretary of State for European Affairs Fernando Mariano Sampedro Marcos, during his visit to Chișinău.

Cristina Gherasimov emphasized that Spain remains an important partner in the integration process.

“Spain is a country with high living standards, modern infrastructure, and a developed economy. For almost four decades, it has been an EU member state, and its citizens enjoy safety, sustainable investments, and numerous opportunities. I was pleased to discuss today in Chișinău with Fernando Mariano Sampedro Marcos the developments in the EU accession negotiation process, the current situation, and the steps we will undertake,” said the official.

The Deputy Prime Minister thanked Spain for the solidarity shown towards the Republic of Moldova and for supporting the European path.

“Spain is a second home for tens of thousands of our citizens, and it especially supports the European path of the Republic of Moldova,” she stated.

The parties agreed to continue the dialogue and cooperation, especially on dimensions that accelerate Moldova's integration into the European Union.
