The authorities in Chisinau will not allow the participation of Russian officials in the regional conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that will take place from May 14 to 17, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) announced in a statement.
"Considering the ongoing war of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine which has flagrantly violated the UN Charter, triggered multiple crises and undermined food security at the international level, the MFA has decided not to admit the participation of official representatives of the Russian Federation in person, and limitation at the level of the embassy or in online format", reads the statement of the MAE.
We remind that the Republic of Moldova will host the 34th Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in May.
