Our focus remains on building a modern, democratic, European Moldova capable of addressing contemporary challenges and playing an increasingly active role within the European Community,” Popsoi added.

The Minister also expressed his gratitude to Sweden for coordinating the Nordic-Baltic format.

Eight foreign ministers from the Nordic-Baltic 8 (NB8) countries—Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden—are visiting Chisinau on October 15, with the meeting hosted by Popsoi.
