At this anniversary moment, we cannot forget the efforts of all those who have contributed to the development of Moldpres, even though the times have not always been favorable for modernization. I want to thank those who work currently at Moldpres for their dedication and professionalism. Through joint efforts, we have managed to withstand a volatile media market, and today we are celebrating 35 years since the founding, achievement that few media institutions in Moldova can boast.

As a manager, I will strive to ensure all necessary conditions for conducting activities so that Moldpres remains a reliable source and a model of professionalism in the Moldovan media market!

Good luck, colleagues! Happy anniversary, Moldpres!'

The relationship with the Romanian National News Agency, AGERPRES, was strengthened by signing a new cooperation agreement on 11 April 2025. The agreement reflects the close ties and deep community of language, culture, and history that link Romania to the Republic of Moldova. The collaboration between AGERPRES and MOLDPRES is not only about the exchange of information and best practices but also about an efficient communication of European values in society.

Moldpres–TRM: Strengthening cooperation in media in the Republic of Moldova

On 10 April 2025, the State News Agency 'Moldpres' signed a cooperation agreement with the Public Institution Teleradio-Moldova (TRM). Moldpres and TRM aim to promote topics of common interest: European integration, regional development, culture, education and combating propaganda.

Through the strategic partnerships, Moldpres consolidates its role as a main supplier of public information and contributes to building an open, professional media space anchored in European values.

The history of AIS 'Moldpres' establishment and development

The State News Agency 'Moldpres' originated in the lively period of national rebirth. In 1990, amidst a context marked by the transition to independence and the affirmation of national identity, the Supreme Soviet of the Moldovan SSR (the current Parliament of the Republic of Moldova) decided to liquidate the Moldovan Telegraph Agency—a tool of Soviet propaganda—and ordered the creation of a new media institution: the National News Agency 'Moldova-pres'.

The new agency was to be under the authority of Parliament and reflect the political, social, and cultural realities of the new historical stage. 'Moldova-pres' was conceived as an institution meant to contribute to asserting the informational sovereignty of the Republic of Moldova, to correctly inform the public and to support the democratization process.

Over the years, the agency has evolved into Moldpres—a hallmark of institutional journalism and a pillar of disseminating official information in the Republic of Moldova.

Moldpres Agency's mission is to ensure the production and dissemination of information, publishing and editing official documents, informing public opinion in the country and abroad on current events, state policy and public authorities' activity, providing editorial and printing services, producing photo and video materials.

AIS 'Moldpres' edits and prints the Official Journal of the Republic of Moldova, the only official publication of the state, a public structure of national interest, which ensures high professionalism in publishing the law that must be known and applied exactly by authorities and citizens.
