"I thanked the Federal Chancellor for the support offered to Moldova in obtaining the status of EU candidate country and for the initiative to launch, together with France and Romania, the Moldova Support Platform. I also expressed my appreciation for the support that Moldova has received over the last three decades from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation through the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ)", said President Maia Sandu.
Thanks to successful Moldovan-German cooperation, dozens of communities in Moldova modernized their infrastructure and citizens have access to water, sanitation and quality public services.
