The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration is organizing the convention of Moldovan ambassadors on August 18-19 in Chisinau.

The convention is an occasion to discuss foreign policy implementation, set new tasks and priorities in the short and medium term, assess the activity of diplomatic missions and discuss how their efficiency can be improved.
