Moldovan PM to attend European Union Enlargement Forum in Brussels

Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu on November 18 will participate in the European Union Enlargement Forum, due to take place in Brussels with the title,  Completing the Union, Securing Our Future. According to the agenda, the event will bring together political leaders, European officials, civil society representatives, youth, entrepreneurs and experts from member and candidate countries, in order to discuss the future of the enlargement process and its role in strengthening European security.

The forum will be opened by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, via a video message, and EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, who will deliver an inaugural speech.

PM Alexandru Munteanu will speak at the first panel - The Geopolitical Imperative of Enlargement, alongside Marta Kos, Montenegro's Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, EU's High Representative Kaja Kallas, Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius and Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Taras Kachka.

The panel will address the geopolitical importance of EU’s enlargement in the context of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and security challenges in the Eastern Neighbourhood and the Western Balkans. The Moldovan prime minister will highlight the role of the enlargement as a tool for peace, stability and democratic resilience and reaffirm Moldova's strong commitment to the European integration.

Throughout the forum, there will also be discussions on citizens' perceptions of enlargement, member states' contributions to supporting the accession process and practical steps for completing accession negotiations.

The event will conclude with a speech by European Council President António Costa, reiterating the European institutions' support for continuing the enlargement as an essential part of the continent's security and unity.
