Moldovan PM says authorities choose to be prepared for any situations, to manage them as efficiently, professionally as possible

State institutions must work together and strengthen their capacities, in order to be ready to act in any crisis situation and ensure the protection of citizens. Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu has made statements to this effect. The official who took part in a seminar dedicated to the state’s capacity to work and make decisions in crisis situations, together with government colleagues, heads of institutions and external partners, including from the Embassy of the United States in Moldova and the NATO Liaison Office in Chisinau.

“We are living in a complicated period, with war at the border and increasingly diverse risks. That is why, for me, the simplest and clearest responsibility remains this one – to be prepared. To have institutions that can assume decisions, that can work together and that can continue to provide services to people, even in difficult times,” said Alexandru Munteanu.

The official emphasized the need to coordinate efforts between institutions, noting that no structure can handle a crisis alone.

“For people, continuity of governance means something simple – that the state works and protects them, regardless of the situation. For this to be possible, institutions must work together, because no structure can cope with a crisis on its own. That is why, we are gradually building a more resilient system, learning both from our partners and from the experiences we go through,” the prime minister said.

Under these conditions, the authorities are making efforts to be prepared for any situations and to manage them as efficiently and professionally as possible.

“Last year, the National Crisis Management Center was created and, just in its first months, we went through difficult situations that we managed professionally. We continue to learn, to adjust and to strengthen the capacities of our institutions. We know that we still have things to learn and that is exactly what we are doing today and now. We choose to be prepared for any situations and to manage them as efficiently and professionally as possible,” concluded Alexandru Munteanu.
