Igor Grosu emphasized that the partnership between the Republic of Moldova and the U.S. state of North Carolina, built over 27 years, has delivered concrete results for citizens. These include investments in renovated schools, kindergartens, and hospitals, support for families, as well as projects in areas such as agriculture, education, and security.
“I was pleased to meet again with Elaine Marshall, the Secretary of State of North Carolina and a true friend of the Republic of Moldova,” the speaker said.
He noted that the distinction represents a gesture of appreciation for her contribution to strengthening bilateral relations and for the constant support given to the Republic of Moldova over the years.
