Chisinau, Dec. 1 /MOLDPRES/- On Romania's National Day, President Maia Sandu conveyed a congratulatory message to Romanians everywhere, the presidential press service has reported.

"Romania is loved in the Republic of Moldova for the constant help, but, above all, for the things that unite us - the language handed down with love by our parents, the history from which we learn many lessons of dignity, and the culture that builds the strongest bridges. Romania is loved here for what it does, but mostly for what it is. And I know that Moldova is also loved in Romania", said Maia Sandu.

The head of state pointed out that over the years, Romania has loved us unconditionally, without expecting benefits. Maia Sandu said that the neighboring and friendly country gave us light, literally, when our citizens needed it the most, helped us to modernize our localities, save the lives of the people on the left bank of the Prut through the emergency medical service SMURD and offered us first aid during the pandemic crisis. 

The president said that Romania is a pillar of resistance for the Republic of Moldova and is the fiercest advocate of our European path: "We look at it with hope when we are in need and as a landmark in our aspirations to join the EU. And Romania looks at us with confidence that we will succeed in the chosen path".

Also, the official said that our countries are linked by the common past, but by the future that we will share. "We are bound by the desire to build a just and good society for all our citizens, to become stronger together. Our path is common - our place is together in the European Union. We know Romania is with us - and this helps us to have confidence in the future, no matter how great the trials we go through", Maia Sandu said.
