Presidency of the Republic of Moldova
Address by Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, at the opening of the Justice and Anticorruption Reforms Forum
Good morning, Thank you for organizing this discussion. It is important to talk about the essence of things that are happening and those that are not happening, because, as happens in other fields sometimes, the discussions are superficial, and here we are dealing with reform that needs to be understood, discussed, the problems must be seen and, of course, we must encourage the successes.
Dear Rector,
Dear student, colleagues, friends,
Thank you for your presence today at Comrat University. I am grateful to Mr. Rector, Mr. Zaharia, and the leadership of the autonomy for the invitation. As always, I am glad to be in Comrat. I am grateful also for the warm welcome that the Gagauz people are famous for. Gagauzia is an integral part of the cultural, social, economic and political life of the Republic of Moldova.
Dear citizens, dear people,
On this important day for all of us, I wanted to talk to you about Moldova. That it is beautiful, that it is dear to us. That it exists through its beautiful people.
And I asked the children. They feel better. Because they filter what they see, what they feel through a pure heart, unclouded by today's problems and tomorrow's worries. 
Dear President Zelensky, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
We met in Kyiv a year ago to voice our strong support to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, including Crimea. The Crimea Platform was established with an understanding that the international order only works when it is based on rules, inviolability of borders, non-use of force, non-interference in internal affairs, respect for human rights and economic development. Few imagined that all of these would be shattered. 
Mister Chancellor,
Mister President,
Mister Governor,
Distinguished audience,
Ladies and gentlemen,
It’s a pleasure to be here with you today. Even if it is my first time in Alpbach, I did hear it’s one of the most inspirational places to be here, to exchange ideas, thoughts and find common solutions for the challenges that we are facing as a continent, as a world. 
Dear President Klaus Iohannis,
Thank you for your openness in hosting me again in Bucharest.
I am happy to be back in Bucharest to personally express my gratitude for Romania’s tireless, consistent and generous support during the past years. Thank you for this help. 
Good morning.
I convened today the meeting of the National Committee for European Integration, which will coordinate the efforts of the Republic of Moldova’s authorities on our European path.
