“Estonia supports Moldova’s accession to the European Union and we are always ready to share our experience and support Moldova politically, economically and in the issues of security. The enlargement of the European Union is now more important than ever,” Chairman of the European Union Affairs Committee Peeter Tali said. “At the meetings with the parliamentarians and representatives of the Government of Moldova today we will also focus on new opportunities for cooperation.”
Security situation will also be one of the key issues discussed at the meetings. “One of the main efforts of the hostile influence activities of Putin’s regime has been turning the presidential elections and the EU accession referendum in Moldova towards the outcome the Kremlin wanted, which failed. This is why Moldova’s experience in dealing with Russia’s influence activities is very valuable for us,” Tali said.
Today the delegation will be in Chișinău to have meetings with President of the Parliament of Moldova Igor Grosu, and Chair Ina Coșeru and Deputy Chair Ion Groza of the Committee for Foreign Policy and European Integration, as well as with Chairman of the Moldova-Estonia parliamentary friendship group Andrian Cheptonar and members of the parliamentary friendship group.
The members of the European Union Affairs Committee are also planning to meet with Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization Dumitru Alaiba, State Secretary for European Integration Rodica Crudu, and Head of Bureau for Reintegration Policies Alin Gvidiani.
Tomorrow, the delegation will meet with Ambassador of the European Union in Moldova Jānis Mažeiks.
The delegation of the European Union Affairs Committee consists of Chairman of the Committee Peeter Tali and members of the Committee Katrin Kuusemäe, Maido Ruusmann, Luisa Rõivas and Tarmo Tamm.
