We also share a common vision regarding the strategic values of the expansion of the Union to the East. I highlighted the support that Romania provides for the advancement of the European path of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. (…) Our discussions also focused on the possibilities of increasing Romania’s and Germany’s support for the Eastern partners, both at the level of the European Union and within NATO, especially for Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. I emphasized, in particular, that it is very important to substantially support the stability and resilience of the Republic of Moldova in the face of the security challenges it faces, including in terms of energy.

The head of the Romanian state reiterated that the authorities in Bucharest will support the Government in Chisinau as much as needed, and Romania is becoming more and more concerned about the situation in the Republic of Moldova and how the consequences of the war in Ukraine are affecting our country.
At the same time, the German chancellor emphasized the partnership that Berlin has with Chisinau, noting that it will continue. Special attention was given by the official to the need to solve the problems in the energy system of our country, the aim being to reduce dependence in the field.

(…) I think it is more than a symbol, it is an expression of a partnership that already exists in reality. We will continue on this path. Romania plays an important role. We in Germany can only help. It is normal to be able to help the Republic of Moldova to stop depending on gas and energy from elsewhere. Much has been done and in the future this must be taken into account.
