Poland supports Moldova in its European integration and modernization efforts. In a meeting with Prime Minister Pavel Filip, the new Polish Ambassador in Chisinau Bartłomiej Zdaniuk said Poland is a good friend of Moldova and it is interested in developing projects in all the sectors of mutual interest, IPN reports.

The Premier wished the ambassador success and assured him of support in the fulfillment of his duties. Pavel Filip approved of the assistance provided by Poland to Moldova at bilateral level and in the European integration process. “We want to do reforms in Moldova so as to raise the level of wellbeing of our citizens to the European one,” he said. “We still face problems, but the tendencies are positive. We need the support of the development partners to go on.”

In the meeting, special attention was devoted to the way the Polish loan intended for the Moldovan agriculture is used. Pavel Filip noted there will be identified the most efficient ways of using this loan. He pleaded for extending the Polish investments in the national economy.  

Poland is among the top ten commercial partners of Moldova. In the first half of 2017, bilateral trade rose by 10.7% compared with the corresponding period last year. Moldova and Poland have so far signed 37 bilateral treaties that regulate different areas of activity.
