The Republic of Moldova will denounce two agreements concluded on the platform of the Commonwealth of Independent States

Members of the Committee on Foreign Policy and European Integration approved at today's meeting advisory opinions on the denunciation of two agreements concluded on the platform of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The Agreement on interaction in the field of preparedness for and response to the consequences of exceptional natural and man-made disasters, drawn up in Minsk on 22 January 1993, will be terminated. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, the denunciation of the Agreement is due to minimal interaction on this segment of cooperation, lack of applicability, and inconsistency with realities.

The Agreement and the Additional Protocol are two inherent acts, so their denunciation will be simultaneous.

At the same time, the Agreement between the CIS Member States on Strategic Armed Forces of 30 December 1991 will be denounced. The denunciation of this agreement is opportune, in the context of the fact that the Republic of Moldova does not have nuclear weapons, and collaboration within the CIS excludes interaction in the politico-military fields, the emphasis being placed on economic collaboration.

Earlier, the Speaker of the Parliament, Igor Grosu, had addressed a request to the Government to initiate the regulatory procedure for Moldova's withdrawal from the Agreement on the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
