PRESIDENT DODON TO ATTEND SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL FORUMS IN SEPTEMBER

President of Moldova will participate in several international forums in September. He told about this on public television on Thursday evening.

“At the beginning of September commemorative events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War will take place in Poland. Leaders of a dozen of countries were invited to this event, including the US president, many leaders of EU countries and neighboring countries. I hope to have bilateral meetings there also”, he said.

Also, in September the head of the Moldovan state is planning to make a working visit to Brussels.

“The agenda has already been agreed, as well as exact dates”, Dodon said.

In late September, the Moldovan president will participate in the session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

“I have an invitation from the UN for the end of September. I will represent our country from the UN General Assembly’s rostrum. Besides, a range of bilateral meetings are planned there”, he said.

Before that, a working visit to Russia will be held in late August – early September.

“I have planned a meeting with my Russian colleague Vladimir Putin. Now the agendas are being checked against, because both we and they have many events. A working meeting with Vladimir Putin is planned for not later than September 7-10. We will be discussing issues, connected with Moldovan goods’ exports and the supplying of natural gas to the republic”, Dodon concluded.

Under the rule of the Democratic Party, Igor Dodon’s external political agenda was limited to frequent visits to Russia, the CIS countries and the participation in sittings of CIS and the Eurasian Economic Union [of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, EAES]. The visits to the US and Brussels, planned for 2018, have not taken place.

The gossip was that leader of the Democratic Party Vlad Plahotniuc was categorically against Dodon’s trips across the ocean. The president was complaining that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration was not transmitting to the Presidential Administration some invitations, including the one to participate in the UN General Assembly. In previous years Moldova was represented by Prime Minister Pavel Filip at this forum.
