The head of state noted that the Moldovan authorities are also interested in increasing economic exchanges and increasing Danish investment in Moldova.
"I welcome the first visit of a head of government from Denmark. Hopefully, your visit will give a new impetus to the cooperation existing between our countries," Maia Sandu added.
In turn, the Danish Prime Minister stated that the Republic of Moldova is an important friend and partner of Denmark and that the two countries could work together in many areas, including green energy.
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Denmark praised the Republic of Moldova's achievement of candidate country status and reiterated the commitment to provide assistance despite difficult conditions. Prior to her visit to the Republic of Moldova, Mette Fredriksen visited Ukraine.
"I have seen with my own eyes the terrible destruction caused by Russia's brutal attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, which is also affecting your country. The impact on gas prices, electricity, is a great challenge for you and for all of us. Within the EU we are working to ease this burden and we are determined to increase this macro-financial assistance to the Republic of Moldova to €295 million", said Mette Frederiksen.
