I expressed my gratitude that Moldova remains a priority country for Latvia and that on January 23 they voted for the continuation of projects in our country in various fields, including economic development and education. We are also confident that with the launch of the Chisinau-Riga flight in May, bilateral relations will also develop in areas such as tourism, HoReCa", declared Igor Grosu.

In Riga, the Parliament Speaker had a meeting with the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs. The Moldovan official thanked the Latvian authorities for the support given to the Republic of Moldova in obtaining the status of a candidate country and the opening of EU accession negotiations.

"I was glad to see Edgars Rinkēvičs again, this time in the position of President of Latvia. I had good communication with Mr. Rinkēvičs when he was Latvian Foreign Minister. All this time, we were fully supported in our journey - obtaining the status of a candidate country and opening negotiations for Moldova's accession to the European Union. Latvia's experience will further help us to carry out those necessary reforms that will bring us even closer to the EU and become more connected with Europe", concluded the Speaker.
