Romania's President to visit Chișinău on 10 June

Romania's President Nicușor Dan will pay an official visit to Chișinău on 10 June. The announcement was made today by the leader from Cotroceni during his first press conference since taking office.

Nicușor Dan previously said that the first country he would like to visit as head of state is the Republic of Moldova. According to him, such a decision "has a symbolic significance."


"The Republic of Moldova, Brussels, or Washington, depending on needs. I would very much like the Republic of Moldova because it's symbolic, but if emergencies arise, one or the other alternatives," he said.


The official also mentioned that Romania has pre-accession experience that it can share with the Republic of Moldova, whose main objective is integration into the European Union.


"Romania's policy towards the Republic of Moldova has been the correct policy. We have an energy partnership that has reduced the Republic of Moldova's dependence on the Russian Federation. Now, in my opinion, the main objective of the Republic of Moldova is integration into the European Union. There is a timeline until 2030, which Romania must support both diplomatically and operationally. We have pre-accession experience that we can share with the Republic of Moldova," he said.


In the Republic of Moldova, over 158,000 Romanians voted in the Romanian presidential elections, marking a historic voter turnout. Nicușor Dan has got 88% or 138,320 of the votes cast by voters in our country.
