Dear Mrs. Von der Leyen, dear Ursula, I am happy to welcome you in Chisinau! Your visit is a significant one for us. It speaks of the very good dialogue and the very close relations of the Republic of Moldova with the European Union that we have had for a long time, but especially in the last two years, despite the difficult period we are all going through.
I would like to thank the Czech EU Presidency for hosting the first meeting of the European Political Community, an initiative launched under the French EU Presidency by President Macron, that Moldova is happy to be part of. It is a journey for the wider Europe that we embark on today. We see the European Political Community as a platform to strengthen our collective trust and solidarity.
I am standing before you today proudly representing the Republic of Moldova, a future member of the European Union. I am grateful for the unanimous support that we received from the 27 EU Member States. Thank you for your recognition and vote of trust in our love for freedom, dynamic democracy, and commitment to the rule of law.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Our commitment towards the citizens of our country, after the pandemics, is two fold: first to recover the educational losses and, second, to build a better system based on the valuable lessons that we all learned.
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.
Presidency of the Republic of Moldova
