Moldova to demand withdrawal of Russian troops from left bank of Dniester at United Nations

Chisinau, 15 June /MOLDPRES/ – Moldova will repeatedly ask the United Nations General Assembly (UNO) to withdraw the Russian troops from the left bank of the Dniester river. The announcement was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, Tudor Ulianovschi, which said that resolution proposed by Moldova, might have been examined on 22 June.

The head of the Moldovan diplomacy said that authorities in Chisinau had re-registered with the UN Secretariat request for project examination and it was accepted for 22 June.

"The government has not dissociated from its initiative. Recently, the UN Secretariat has registered the draft resolution submitted by Moldova entitled "The complete and unconditional withdrawal of foreign military forces on territory of Moldova". There are being made some efforts now as to provide widest possible support for UN member states. We already have 10 states that have signed the draft resolution," said Ulianovschi.

In 2017, Moldovan diplomacy made more requests to international authorities urging for complete withdrawal of foreign military forces from territory of Moldova. PM Pavel Filip delivered a speech at recent UNO general meeting where he referred specifically to the need to resolve territorial conflict in the eastern part of Moldova and demanded withdrawal of foreign military formations from territory of Moldova.
