Moldovan prime minister meets designated head of EU diplomacy

Prime Minister Iurie Leanca and Italian Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini today talked about Moldova's European agenda, reforms, attracting foreign assistance for the justice sector reform, the country's efforts to diversify energy sources and the situation in the region.

 

Federica Mogherini arrived to Moldova on 31 august, just one day after she was designated High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. She succeeds Catherine Ashton in the office of European Commission vice-president.

 

"Everything that is happening in the European Union has significance for all the states in the vicinity, including Moldova. We have common Latin origins, and this brings us closer", said Iurie Leanca. A special issue, addressed by the prime minister, regarded the Moldovan community established in Italy. Iurie Leanca talked about the need for a bilateral agreement on social protection.

 

The prime minister congratulated Federica Mogherini on the occasion of her taking office as head of European diplomacy and wished her success in the activity.

 

For her part, the Italian foreign minister stressed that this was her first visit abroad after being appointed High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and noted that this was a symbolic act.

 

"Moldova is an example for states with European aspirations, for choosing rapprochement with the West and at the same time, opting to preserve good relations with the East," said the foreign official.

 

Federica Mogherini spoke about the Moldovan Diaspora living in Italy, and said that it was a highly integrated and appreciated community.

 

The Italian foreign minister participates in the 9th Meeting of the European Action Group for Moldova. The official is for the first time ever in Moldova. Federica Mogherini will take office as head of the European diplomacy on 1 November.
