NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoană met today (20 March 2024) with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, Mihai Popșoi, at NATO Headquarters. They took stock of the long-standing partnership between NATO and Moldova and the areas of enhanced cooperation, including cyber-defence, disaster-management, and the strengthening of Moldovan armed forces.
The Deputy Secretary General praised Moldova’s contributions to the NATO-led KFOR mission in Kosovo and underscored Allied support to Moldova’s path towards EU membership. “It’s always a pleasure to receive our long-standing partners from the Republic of Moldova, and I know that your visit today will be strengthening and deepening our partnership, for already thirty years,” the Deputy Secretary General said. “We know that our partnership will help to have your armed forces become more solid and reach a level of professionalism where NATO is the gold standard around the world,” he added.
