During an official visit to Greece, Moldovan Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu emphasized the strong partnership between Moldova and Greece, highlighting their shared commitment to peace, security, and a better future for their citizens. Grosu visited Greece at the invitation of his Greek counterpart, Nikitas Michail Kaklamanis.
The two officials discussed Greece’s continued support for Moldova across key sectors, including energy, tourism, and legislative reform. Notably, they highlighted the Twinning project, which, over the next two years, will assist the Moldovan Parliament in aligning national legislation with European law.
“For nearly 33 years, Moldova and Greece have developed a strong bilateral relationship. Today, we’re seeing concrete results: the Greek Embassy opened in Chisinau in 2024; multiple direct flights to Athens are already operational; and this summer, new routes to Heraklion and Thessaloniki will launch. Long-awaited agreements are finally being signed, including those covering social security and the mutual recognition of driving licenses,” Grosu said.
