Both NATO and Moldova could do more to expand their partnership, through enhanced political dialogue and practical cooperation, Vershbow told the Moldovan officials here. Soon after his arrival in Chisinau on Monday, the NATO official met separately with the Moldovan president, prime minister and foreign minister.
"The fostering of this partnership will contribute to Moldova’s development, will change for the better people’s life," said Vershbow when meeting with Prime Minister Lurie Leanca. This cooperation framework respects Moldova’s neutrality stipulated in the Constitution, stressed Vershbow when meeting with Foreign Minister Natalia Gherman, pointing out that NATO member states "continue to support the country’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Gherman told Vershbow that Moldova counts on the NATO states’ support to find a peaceful settlement for the conflict of Transnistrian, a breakaway region of Moldova. The officials highlighted in the meetings the importance to keep stability in the region, by identifying a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian crisis.
The NATO official will stay in Moldova until Wednesday. He is expected to address the conference "NATO Partnerships: Achievements and Prospects," organized in the context of the 20th anniversary of the Partnership for Peace.
