The Government of China pays great attention to the development of the relations with Moldova, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in Chisinau Mingtao Tong said in a meeting with Prime Minister Chiril Gaburici on May 13. The diplomat pleaded for developing the potential existing in the commercial-economic, investment, cultural and humanitarian areas, saying Moldova is a very important partner in Eastern Europe, IPN reports.
According to the Government’s press service, the Premier thanked the Chinese authorities for the provided non-reimbursable assistance and for the support at international level. “We see positive dynamics in the relations between our states, while the bilateral projects are very important for modernizing Moldova,” stated Chiril Gaburici.
The two officials also discussed Moldova’s participation in the Silk Road Project. A memorandum to this effect was signed within the Moldovan-Chinese intergovernmental commission for commercial-economic cooperation in Beijing in December 2014. The document is designed to ensure the economic connection between China and Europe, stimulate the political dialogue, develop the transport infrastructure between the Pacific Ocean and the Baltic Sea and reduce the barriers to trade and investments.
Another subject discussed in the meeting was the opportunity to create a Free Economic Zone in Moldova for Chinese investors. The diplomat said the Government of China supports such an idea.
