Chişinău, Nov. 10 /MOLDPRES/- The first batch of assistance from the French Ministry of the Armed Forces for the National Army has arrived in Chisinau. It was delivered by air.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the aid contains personal equipment, logistical supplies, light infantry weapons and ammunition.

This is the first batch of support from the French Republic in the context of strengthening the defense capabilities of the Republic of Moldova and modernizing the National Army.

The equipment, intended for infantry troops, will ensure the compatibility of the Moldovan military with the armies of the European Union and North Atlantic Alliance states in the joint exercises and missions.

The assistance comes as a result of the declarations of support by French President Emmanuel Macron at the European Political Community Summit, held on June 1 in Moldova, as well as following the visit of French Minister of Defense Sébastien Lecornu to Chisinau in September.

Moldova and France cooperate in the defense sector under the Agreement between the defense institutions of the two states, signed in Paris on July 15, 1998. Recently, Minister of Defense Anatolie Nosatîi and his French counterpart, Sébastien Lecornu agreed on strengthening the partnership, by signing a bilateral document of intent.
