Prime Minister Vasile Tofan visits Turkey for the UN Climate Change Conference and Antalya Leaders' Summit

Published

Prime Minister Vasile Tofan will pay a working visit to Antalya, Turkey, on Wednesday, November 11, where he will participate in the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31).

According to the agenda, the head of the Executive will also participate in the Antalya Leaders' Summit, as well as in an event dedicated to water, energy and transport security in the context of climate change.

The visit program also includes meetings with high-ranking officials and representatives of international financial institutions.

We recall that Prime Minister Vasile Tofan also visited Turkey in August this year, when he swam across the Bosphorus Strait together with his son.

The Prime Minister then held several meetings with representatives of the Turkish business community, whom he directly invited to invest in the Republic of Moldova.

In April 2026, President Maia Sandu also paid an official visit to Turkey. During her meeting with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the head of state discussed regional security and the expansion of economic cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and Turkey, the growth of trade exchanges and the identification of new investment opportunities between the two countries.

The role of the Gagauzia region was also discussed, with Maia Sandu describing it as a bridge between the two countries and a factor that can contribute to deepening bilateral cooperation.
