These problems can only be overcome if the government works for the citizens and seeks solutions to provide a better living for the people in the country, and for those who have left - the chance to return home," the President said.

Also today in Munich, the President discussed with a group of foreign investors interested in the economic opportunities offered by our country at a round table hosted by the Angermayer Forum for Policy and Innovation. "I confirmed to my interlocutors that, after several years of uncertainty, Moldova is back on the path of reforms and is ready for foreign investments, which will create new jobs and will increase the welfare of our citizens. At the same time, the government wants to become a reliable partner for entrepreneurs, with encouraging policies and simple and clear rules for business", said President Maia Sandu.
