For the Moldovan authorities, the strengthening of social cohesion is a priority as they aim to make sure that each citizen feels safe, enjoys equal rights and knows that he/she has personal and professional development chances, said Presdient Maia Sandu, who had a meeting with the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities Kairat Abdrakhmanov, IPN reports.
“The programs by which members of ethnic communities can study Romanian and, in parallel, their mother tongue is an element of social cohesion,” said President Sandu.
The official approved of the OSCE’s assistance to designing the strategy for strengthening interethnic relations in the Republic of Moldova for 2017-2027.
