In his speech, Mihai Popşoi presented the investment advantages offered by Moldova, highlighting the importance of enhancing the Moldovan-Chinese economic and trade relations. The deputy prime minister stressed that Moldova strengthens its attractiveness for investors due to the digitalization of public services and its confident advancement on the European integration path.
“Moldova, as a candidate country for accession to the European Union, including a beneficiary of free trade agreements with important international partners, can offer a stable environment and efficient access to the European market. We are convinced that these advantages represent a real opportunity for the Chinese business community,” Mihai Popşoi said.
The head of the Moldovan diplomacy urged the entrepreneurs to take advantage of the existing opportunities by developing business partnerships and promoting Moldovan products on the Chinese market:
“Moldova is competitive in the production of wine, grapes, plums, apples, cherries, nuts and other agricultural products. At the same time, our wine-making traditions represent not only an economic sector, but also a part of the national identity”.
Mihai Popşoi also emphasized the possibilities of cooperation in the IT sector, in transport and logistics infrastructure, as well as in the field of green energy:
“The Republic of Moldova is open for business and partnership. Our country is a reliable partner with European ambitions and a favorable climate for the development of economic projects”.
