Meeting between Vice Prime Minister Oleg Serebrian and representatives of the United Nations

Today, Vice Prime Minister for Reintegration Oleg Serebrian had a meeting with representatives of the United Nations Joint Programme's Reflection and Learning Mission to Moldova (RLM) based in New York, including Ilona Lecerf, Aycan Akdeniz, and David Newton, who are on a study visit to the Republic of Moldova.

The mission is focused on evaluating the UN's response to the challenges faced by the Republic of Moldova during the period 2017-2023, including political instability, the impact of COVID-19, and the war in Ukraine.

The participants exchanged views on the assistance projects implemented in the Republic of Moldova, particularly in the field of human rights protection, which unfortunately remains a highly sensitive issue in the transnistrian region of the country.

Furthermore, UN representatives were informed about the intervention sectors that require support from external partners in this challenging regional period, as well as Chisinau's full commitment to continue working towards concrete results for the residents on both banks of the Nistru River.

At the end of the discussions, it was agreed and reaffirmed that coordination of actions and approaches on various common interest issues is necessary, along with strengthening various forms of interaction in promoting peace and stability policies at both the domestic and regional levels.
