The Republic of Moldova will learn from the experience of Cyprus in resolving a secessionist dispute, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrei Galbur said in a news conference given after a meeting with his Cypriot counterpart Ioannis Kasoulides, IPN reports.
Andrei Galbur said the European integration in Cyprus took place in parallel with the settling of the conflict that existed in the north of the country. Cyprus is a reliable supporter of reforms in Moldova and of the country’s European course.
Andrei Galbur noted that in the meeting they agreed to review the legal framework that regulates the bilateral relations. “Instructions were given for experts from both of the states to examine the existing agreements, their implementation level and to prepare new ones,” he stated.
For his part, Ioannis Kasoulides said that his visit to Moldova is a step towards identifying new areas of cooperation, such as migration, social security, mutual recognition of diplomas and others.
This year it is 25 years of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Moldova and the Republic of Cyprus. The Cypriot official’s visit to Chisinau forms part of the series of events dedicated to the anniversary. Cyprus joined the EU in May 2004.
