Chisinau, 25 January /MOLDPRES/- The action plan for 2018 on integration of foreigners will be published in the Official Journal of Moldova on 26 January.

The document comprises six chapters on strengthening the normative framework in the foreigners’ integration, information and fortification of institutional capacities of the central and local public administration authorities in the communication with foreigners.

Under the plan, the actions are meant to improve the legal framework in the field, to ensure respect for all foreigners’ rights and consolidate the capacities of the institutions providing services for them.
