Today President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu held a meeting with Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, Chair of the NATO Military Committee, the highest military official of the North Atlantic Alliance. The Admiral’s visit takes place in the context of more than 30 years of cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and NATO, initiated through our country’s accession to the Partnership for Peace.

President Sandu emphasized that, in a regional and global context marked by uncertainty and evolving threats, strengthening defense capabilities and maintaining solid partnerships is a responsibility towards citizens.

Special attention was given to threats in the cyber and information space. The Head of State expressed gratitude for the concrete support offered by NATO in the field of cybersecurity and reaffirmed that a Moldova capable of responding to these challenges is a Moldova that protects its citizens and contributes to the stability of the entire region.

NATO officials, for their part, commended the contribution of the Republic of Moldova to regional security, both through its role as a stable, democratic, and friendly neighbor to Ukraine, and through the participation of Moldovan troops in international peacekeeping missions, such as the one in Kosovo.

The Republic of Moldova remains committed to deepening its cooperation with NATO, while respecting its constitutional neutrality, for the direct benefit of its citizens and European security.
