With the head of the British diplomatic service, I also discussed bilateral cooperation and our joint efforts to fight corruption,” stated President Sandu.



UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron also met with Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Nicu Popescu. “We discussed the common interest in strengthening the strategic relations between Moldova and the United Kingdom, focusing on the benefits for our diaspora.
