The President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella sent a congratulatory message to Maia Sandu.
“Your election as the President of the Republic of Moldova offers me the nice occasion to transmit my sincere congratulations and to wish you success in the high office entrusted to you by the Moldovan people,” says the message of the President of Italy, which is quoted by IPN.

“I honestly hope that the excellent relations between our countries will be further strengthened in all the areas of common interest. The Moldovans who settled in Italy and who formed one of the largest Moldovan communities abroad and are able to fully integrate from cultural, social and economic viewpoints into our society, remaining simultaneously connected to the own origins, contribute particularly to the constant forging of the friendly ties,” stated Sergio Mattarella.

He confirmed that the official Rome will continue to support the efforts made by the official Chisinau on the path of coming closer to the European Union, offering it the broadest cooperation possible in the reforms that Moldova is to implement during the next few years.
