The Moldovan minister of Foreign Affairs will hold a speech at the United Nations tribune during the 61st UN General Assembly that will take place on September 25-26. The speech of the Moldovan delegate is scheduled for the morning of September 26. According to a press release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration (MFAEI), the Moldovan delegacy agenda also has a series of meetings of the ministry of foreign affairs Andrei Stratan with representatives of American organizations and institutions, as well as participating at the GUAM countries Foreign Affairs ministers’ meeting, and the GUAM-USA meeting. The schedule of the current session has 154 points, grouped on themes, according to the GA mandate, the main being maintaining international peace and security; economic growth and long-term development; human rights; disarming and weapon control; promoting justice and international rights. One of the points discussed at the GA will be the frozen conflicts from the Black Sea region and the south Caucasian region, and, implicitly, their impact on international peace and security. The UN General Assembly adopted the decision to include this additional agenda point at the request of the GUAM member countries. According to the Russian ministry of foreign Affairs, this action is counterproductive, and seeks to sabotage the current negotiation format with Transnistria, Nagorno Karabach, Abkhazia and South Ossetia conflicts, where the Russian Federation is actively involved in. In a declaration of President of the Republic of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, it is stated that the goal of the efforts within UN is not to change the current negotiation format in the Transnistrian conflict or to give up constructive ideas from different negotiation level, but to properly inform the international community about the situation in the frozen conflicts zones, including Transnistria, about the nature and solving perspectives of this conflict. In the mentioned declaration the head of state expressed his hopes that these means will consolidate all efforts of the international community and will assure a peaceful, equitable and permanent solution to the Transnistrian problem.
