🇲🇩 becomes more and more integrated withe the EU, which is already the most important export market for Moldovan products.
Moldova is an European state. I'm confident that in the next decade my country will be a fully-fledged EU member country.
🍇 EU is the most important export market of Moldova.
🍎 In 2022, Moldovan products worth more than $2.54 bn. were delivered to the EU. The value of exports to European destinations increased by 32% compared to the previous year.

The Chinese Ambassador to France made unacceptable statements about countries that obtained so much-wanted independence in '91, including the Republic of Moldova.
@MFA_China
distanced from his declaration. That is good for our bilateral ties with China.
We are surprised about Chinese Amb statements questioning sovereignty of countries declaring independence in '91. Mutual respect & territ integrity have been key to 🇲🇩-🇨🇳 ties.
Our expectations are that these declarations do not represent China’s official policy.
