Igor Grosu: Lithuania ready to help Moldova on its European integration path
The Republic of Moldova and Lithuania will cooperate in several areas such as combating disinformation and fake news, strengthening the defence capabilities of relevant institutions. The announcement was made by the head of the legislature, Igor Grosu, following a meeting with Seimas chair Viktorija Čmilyté-Nielsen. The official in Chisinau was assured that Lithuania is ready to help us on our path to European integration.
"During the discussions, we reiterated the commitment of the Republic of Moldova to advance on the path of reforms and, in this context, the importance of cooperation on the parliamentary dimension between our countries. Lithuania's legislative experience can help us especially now that Moldova has obtained the status of an EU candidate country and we are in the process of adjusting our national legislation to the European one". The two officials also referred to security developments in the region and the challenges our country has to face this year.
Igor Grosu is on a working visit to Lithuania until 5 April. The President of the Parliament will meet several Lithuanian officials. Other members of the parliamentary delegation are Ion Babici, Chairman of the Friendship Group with Lithuania, and Vitali Gavrouc, member of the Committee on Human Rights and Interethnic Relations.
