The Republic of Moldova and Romania have a special relationship, they share "a common linguistic space, a common cultural space, and a common realm of values," Moldovan Prime Minister Pavel Filip said on Thursday in Bucharest.
"I am pleased to be here in Bucharest, attending a new joint meeting of the Moldovan and Romanian Governments. I'd like to use this opportunity to congratulate the new colleagues who joined the Government of Romania: may you be successful in this important mandate. Standing before you is the Chisinau Government after having undergone the reform of the central public administration. We are less, but in my view, this line-up is just as, or even more efficient than before," said Pavel Filip at the beginning of the joint meeting of the Governments of Romania and the Republic of Moldova.
"True, our countries are connected by historical ties, I think it would be too little to say that we have good or excellent relations, because the relationship between the Republic of Moldova and Romania goes beyond this scope, we share a common linguistic space, a common cultural space and a common realm of values, this is why I believe our relationship is special. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to thank once again for Romania's constant help. I remember the beginning of the mandate, in 2016, when Romania offered us a helping hand, I am referring to the EUR 150 million worth of loan, I am referring to the beginning of 2016, and everything else, not just under the bilateral relationship. Romania's support for our European platform and roadmap is highly important, and the more so important at international level, we also very much appreciate and are grateful for your vote in the UN General Assembly," Filip told the Cabinet members in Bucharest.
