President Maia Sandu sent a congratulatory message to U.S. President Donald Trump after his inauguration.

"Moldova values its strong relationship with the U.S. and looks forward to working together with the new administration to promote security, energy cooperation and prosperity for both nations," wrote Maia Sandu.

In a TV show on Monday evening, Maia Sandu confirmed that she was not invited to attend Donald Trump's inauguration.

The head of state stressed that Moldova's interest in the relationship with the U.S. is to move from strategic dialogue to strategic partnership. "We enjoy support both in the Democratic Party and in the Republican Party. We always worked with both parties and we will continue doing so," Maia Sandu said.
