President Iohannis Says Romania Must Help Moldova Institutionally
Romania must help the Republic of Moldova institutionally and not certain politicians in this country, Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday at a meeting with Moldovan Prime Minister Pavel Filip.
“Personally, I’m very interested and very much involved. I believe Romania must and can help the Republic of Moldova, independently of the approaches of certain Moldovan politicians who must get used with the position they hold. I think the Moldovans deserve Romania’s full attention and I am congratulating you Mr. Prime Minister because you have made it in these complicated times to rule the Government in a way that is honouring you,” the Romanian President said in the debut of his meeting with the Moldovan Premier on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Iohannis said he held several talks regarding the Republic of Moldova and he is the supporter of the aid programs to this country. He added he has no intention to change this approach whatsoever. (puterea.ro)
