“Moldova has become the first country to conclude a security and defence partnership with the European Union, which is already yielding concrete results. These include the EU Partnership Mission in Moldova, the rapid response teams for cyber and hybrid threats, the military adviser attached to the EU Delegation, as well as support for key institutions such as the National Crisis Management Centre.

“After Ukraine, Moldova has received the largest amount of EU funding in the field of security and defence — a total of 317 million euros from the European Peace Fund to strengthen your Armed Forces. This support also includes the 120 million euros for Moldova’s defence, the allocation of which was announced in June,” said the European Commissioner.

According to him, the Republic of Moldova remains a close partner of the EU in the field of foreign and security policy and is among the countries making the most active progress towards European integration.

“You are a close partner of the EU in the field of foreign and security policy, as well as one of the leading countries in the enlargement process. You are making rapid progress towards becoming part of our European family and joining the European Union. Moldova’s future lies in Europe,” concluded the European Commissioner.
