President Maia Sandu has invited citizens from across the country to take part in the events dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the proclamation of the Independence of the Republic of Moldova.

The festivities will be organized in the Great National Assembly Square (PMAN) in the capital.

“On 27 August, at 16:30, I invite you to celebrate together, in PMAN, the 35 years since the proclamation of the Independence of the Republic of Moldova. Independence has united us for 35 years,” Maia Sandu said.

The Republic of Moldova proclaimed its independence on 27 August 1991, when Parliament adopted the Declaration of Independence. This year, the authorities are preparing a broad program of events in the center of Chișinău. The official ceremonies will begin in the morning with flower-laying. At 08:30, officials will lay flowers at the Grieving Mother monument in the Eternity Memorial Complex, and at 09:30 the ceremony will continue at the monument of ruler Stefan cel Mare.

The central part of the festivities will take place in PMAN. At 16:30, a military parade will be organized, with the participation of over 2,000 soldiers and representatives of the law enforcement and security structures. During the parade, more than 100 units of military and special equipment from the National Army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be presented.

In the evening, starting at 18:00, a concert dedicated to Independence Day will take place in PMAN, with the participation of several local artists. This morning, the Presidential Administration announced that the head of state, Maia Sandu, has invited the President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, and the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to the events dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Moldova.
