In the context, the Moldovan official reiterated Moldova’s firm condemnation of the war of aggression against Ukraine and reconfirmed support for the efforts of the Ukrainian authorities and the international community to end the war and restore a just and lasting peace.

For his part, Ambassador Paun Rohovei congratulated Moldova on the results achieved during its Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, including its contribution to negotiating and adopting the Resolution on the establishment of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on the Management Committee of the Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

The sides made an assessment of the current state of Moldovan-Ukrainian relations and confirmed their willingness to deepen the bilateral cooperation. In the context, they discussed the possibility of organizing a meeting at the level of the co-chairs of the Intergovernmental Commission for Trade and Economic Cooperation, with a view to fully resuming its activities.
