President to attend European Political Community Summit in Dublin

The Presidency of the Republic of Moldova

President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu will attend the European Political Community Summit on 12 November in Ireland’s capital, Dublin.

During the summit, the head of state will hold discussions with several European leaders focused on advancing the Republic of Moldova’s accession to the European Union and strengthening security partnerships.

On the eve of the meeting, today, November 11, Maia Sandu will hold a bilateral meeting with Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheál Martin. Ireland is hosting the summit and holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU this semester.

Also today, in the presence of the two leaders, an agreement between the Government of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of Ireland on social security will be signed. The document stipulates that periods of employment in both countries will be taken into account when determining pension eligibility for citizens who have worked legally in both the Republic of Moldova and Ireland. Approximately 30,000 Moldovan citizens live in Ireland.

The European Political Community is a platform for high-level political dialogue that brings together heads of state and government from nearly 50 European countries, as well as the leadership of European institutions. Established in 2022 following the outbreak of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the European Political Community provides leaders with a framework to discuss security and stability across the continent. Meetings take place twice a year, alternately in an EU member state and a non-EU country. The Republic of Moldova hosted the European Political Community Summit on June 1, 2023, in Bulboaca.
