Moldova's energy security tackled in Brussels

Chisinau, 28 October /MOLDPRES/ - Moldova’s delegation in Brussels, led by Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita, today participated in a high-level meeting. The participants in the event tackled in detail the issue of energy security globally and, in particular, locally, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.    

In the context, PM Gavrilita said that Moldova appreciated much the launch of the high-level energy dialogue with the European Union. She noted that this would help avoid, in the long run, the crises in the energy sector, as well as identify the needs of assistance and of strengthening the country’s capacities of supply with natural gas.   

In a speech given to European officials, the Moldovan prime minister stressed that Moldova’s integration on the energy market was a major concern of the governance. 

„We are grateful for the support constantly provided to Moldova in the promotion of the independence and energy security. It is true that the high dependence on the import of gas and electric energy has as consequence a low level of security of supply, placing the country among the most vulnerable in the world. Therefore, the efforts of the cabinet I lead are focused on the diversification of the sources of gas supply and the reforms necessary for Moldova’s integration into the European energy market. We declare for cooperation relations in the sector of predictable energy both with our partners from the East and those from the West,’’ Natalia Gavrilita added.
