President received bipartisan delegation of U.S. House Appropriations Committee

The Presidency of the Republic of Moldova

Today President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu received a delegation of the United States House Committee on Appropriations –responsible for overseeing federal spending.

The delegation was led by the Chair of the Committee, Republican Congressman Tom Cole, and the Ranking Member, Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. The delegation also included Republican Congressmen Steve Womack, Mark Alford, and Dave Joyce, as well as Democratic Congressman Glenn Ivey. The composition of the delegation – Republicans and Democrats – reflects the support that the Republic of Moldova enjoys from both parties in the U.S. Congress.

The discussions focused on the security situation in the region, strengthening the resilience of the Republic of Moldova in the face of hybrid threats, our country’s European path, as well as expanding bilateral economic and energy cooperation.

The President thanked the Members of Congress for their consistent support for the Republic of Moldova, emphasizing that U.S. assistance has directly contributed to the country’s energy security, the modernization of infrastructure, and the strengthening of democratic institutions. One example is Strășeni–Gutinaș high-voltage power line, fully financed by the U.S. Government.

The members of the delegation reconfirmed Congress’s interest in the Republic of Moldova and their readiness to continue supporting our country’s efforts to strengthen resilience and to accede to the European Union.

The visit marks the fifth meeting the President has held with U.S. Congressional delegations since the beginning of the year and is an expression of the solid and bipartisan nature of the partnership between Chișinău and Washington.
