Chisinau, 27 March /MOLDPRES/ - French Secretary of State for European Affairs Harlem Desir has spoken out for boosting the economic ties between France and Moldova. The official made statements to this effect at a meeting with the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM), Vlad Filat, in Chisinau today, according to a press release by PLDM.
