6 September , 2024  

A reception organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the country’s independence was held in Kyiv at the Premier Palace Hotel. The event gathered diplomats, politicians, cultural figures and business representatives who had the opportunity to enjoy Moldovan hospitality, wines and national dishes.
The Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to Ukraine, Mr. Valeriu Chiver, delivered a solemn speech in which he noted not only the achievements of Moldova since independence, but also expressed gratitude to Ukraine for the fruitful cooperation.
The main points of Valerii Chiverii’s speech:
“I am very pleased to welcome you to the reception on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the Republic of Moldova’s independence. We are grateful to you for joining us on this festive day. We have two important holidays: Independence Day, which we celebrate on August 27, and Romanian Language Day, which is celebrated on August 31. In addition, we recently celebrated National Army Day, which adds another reason to celebrate.
This year, the upcoming presidential elections on October 20 are particularly important, when Moldovans will have the opportunity to choose the European path of the country’s development. We are confident that Ukrainians want the same for their country, which will further strengthen our relations.
Our bilateral relations are now at their highest level ever. Over the past two years, Ukraine has hosted the President of Moldova three times, the Prime Minister twice, and numerous ministerial visits have taken place. Our cooperation covers various multilateral platforms, including the Peace Formula, the Crimean Platform, and other important initiatives.
Moldova has been supporting Ukraine since the very beginning of this unjust war. We have opened our borders to over a million Ukrainians and provided asylum to over a hundred thousand. We believe that the lines of solidarity along which Ukrainian grain is exported will one day become the lines along which goods will be returned to rebuild Ukraine.
Both of our countries are striving to become part of the European family, and we are convinced that this will bring us even closer. Moldovan-Ukrainian cooperation is based on mutual respect and understanding. We are also grateful to the Ukrainian authorities for restoring the historical truth regarding the Romanian language and congratulate all Romanian speakers on their holiday.”
At the end of his speech, Valeriu Chiever thanked his Ukrainian counterparts for their openness and cooperation, and noted the productive trilateral meetings between Moldova, Ukraine and Romania.
Referring to the efforts of Moldovan embassies, consulates and honorary consuls in various regions of Ukraine, he thanked them for promoting bilateral relations and organizing the event, especially emphasizing their work under the pressure of war.
Moldova recognized Ukraine’s independence on December 10, 1991, shortly after Ukraine gained independence. Diplomatic relations between the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine were established on March 10, 1992.
