Moldovan parliament speaker meets World Bank Country Director for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine

Chisinau, 12 July /MOLDPRES/ - ”The entire foreign support, either in form of grant or credit, must be turned to account transparently, correctly, qualitatively and efficiently. The most important thing is that we should not forget that people are behind any reform. People are the end beneficiaries and those who must feel the beneficial effect of the changes,” Parliament Speaker Zinaida Grecianii said at a meeting with World Bank Country Director for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine Satu Kähkönen, the parliament’s communication and public relations general department has reported.

She also emphasized the need to reorganize Moldova’s economic structure, noting that the country has a huge potential of hub for exports and is a platform with prospects for producers.
