Moldovan PM has discussions with French senators

Prime Minister Dorin Recean met at the government more senators, members of the France-Moldova Friendship Parliamentary Group from the Senate of France.

The officials discussed strengthening the partnership between the two countries, the support provided by France for Moldova's European journey, as well as the efforts undertaken by the Moldovan authorities to combat hybrid threats, aimed at disrupting democratic processes from Moldova.

Specifically, the sides referred to cooperation in the economic field, highlighting the importance of organizing a business conference involving entrepreneurs from both states, in order to explore new cooperation opportunities.
