Romania, along with other friends of our country, has constantly and firmly advocated the cause of Moldova. In this way, we have been able to quickly advance on the European integration path.
Other positive events, more important for our country’s citizens, come on the next period. I express satisfaction that our brothers from Romania are beside us both for better and for worse.
I assure you, Mr. President Basescu, that we will be able to appreciate this support.
I also thank you for the invitation you made me to visit Romania on the day after tomorrow, 1 December, to participate in the events dedicated to the National Holiday of Romania. I am happy to accept this invitation and to meet again in Bucharest.”.
