The Chinese company NK Allfriends INT'I Business Consulting Limited will invest in Moldova at least US$500 million at the initial phase of a much larger investment program. It will invest in projects related to the export of Moldovan wines to China, marketing, medicine, healthcare, municipal constructions, etc. “The investments must increase step by step. Our investment program in Moldova is being drafted. At the first stage, we will invest at least US$500 million. We believe the initial volume is not large, but the investments will be raised gradually, with the growing trust of the shareholders,” the company’s director Shi Yan Lin said in an {interview for Info-Prim Neo}. According to the director, they formulated their investment plans in Moldova taking into account its geographic position between the CIS and the EU, which are two major economies that significantly contribute to the development of the world economy. “Furthermore, Moldova offers concessions to foreign investors. Therefore, any investor that has analysis abilities will find Moldova attractive,” said Shi Yan Lin. He also said that in general, Moldova’s investment prospects are very promising, including from the viewpoint of investment security. “As a businessman, I would like Moldova’s economic policy to be as clear as possible, while the government to be stable. This is the main key for assessing the investment process in Moldova and the analysis criterion for many investors,” said the director of NK Allfriends INT'I Business Consulting Limited. Asked to express his opinion about Moldova and the Moldovans and their chances and capacity for a possible “Chinese jump” in economy so as to achieve acceptable living standards in a predictable future, Shi Yan Lin said: “Frankly speaking, five years ago I did not know anything about Moldova. Now, more and more Chinese people know about Moldova. During different activities organized by the Embassy of Moldova in China, we found out about Moldova’s particularities. We learned then that the hero from our childhood cartoons - Stephan the Great – was in fact Moldova’s ruler. We found out that a Moldovan - Nicolae Milescu Spataru - in his book “Description of China” described China for the whole world. I would like Moldova to promote its history and culture so that the people know more about it. As far as I know, Moldova is open for foreign economic cooperation and I think the economic relations between Moldova and China will play an active role in promoting Moldova and encouraging its economic development, which will lead to better living standards and prosperity.” NK Allfriends INT'I Business Consulting Limited is an international investment platform and one of the main members of the Moldovan-Chinese Social-Economic Cooperation Association.
