Moldova’s President Maia Sandu: Romania Helps Us Overcome All Crises

The Republic of Moldova’s President, Maia Sandu, offered an interview to RFI Romania. Her intervention comes in a context when Romania ensures 90% of Moldova’s internal natural gas consumption needs.

We managed to get through all the crises we went through only thanks to Romania’s support. I am very serious. Otherwise, I don’t think we would have managed. This is due to the personal involvement of President Klaus Iohannis. This is due to the involvement of the Government. European integration and obtaining the status of a candidate country. As Minister Popescu from Chisinau says, we feel that we have two Foreign Ministries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Chisinau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Bucharest. The interests of the Republic of Moldova are promoted with the same intensity by Bucharest as they are promoted by Chisinau, by us

Moldovan President Maia Sandu

Romania is the best friend Moldova has ever had, and the two sister countries have strong ties deep in history. Despite Russian intentions of stopping the countries from getting closer than ever, Romania and Moldova continue their political and economic cooperation.

Romania’s support is multidimensional. I don’t know if there is any field in which Romania does not support us. And with resources for development. Every time we have an energy crisis, Romania comes with help regardless of whether we are talking about electricity, gas or fuel or something else. Romania helps us with budgetary support. Romania helps us when we have a crisis in the medical system

Maia Sandu on the support Romania offers her country

Romania has reached a certain level of development, allowing her to offer the Republic of Moldova the necessary resources to overcome the current crisis. Even so, there are still steps to be taken and bridges to be rebuilt until the two countries see their long-time dream of getting one big country again come true.
