Diplomacy 🇲🇩

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

🇲🇩 Maia Sandu is the Telegraph’s World Leader of the Year.

The Moldovan president has spent the year defying the Kremlin turning her country into Europe's front line of democracy, all while earning less than £1,000 a month.

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

Europe’s stability depends on Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and security being fully guaranteed.

Unity and determination from all of Ukraine’s partners are essential to ensure a peace that will endure.

[Cristina Gherasimov @cgherasimov]

The 2025 Enlargement Report shows Moldova’s most significant progress since candidate status was granted.

Moldova has advanced across all areas—reforms, institutions, and alignment with EU law.

We remain fully committed to continue this pace toward EU membership. 🇲🇩🇪🇺

[Paula Erizanu @paulaerizanu]

The Moldovan flag as a protest symbol in Tbilisi 🫀

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

În ciuda încercărilor de interferență și a presiunilor, alegerea poporului Republicii Moldova s-a afirmat cu forță.

Franța este alături de Moldova în proiectul său european și în elanul său de libertate și suveranitate.

[Mihai Popșoi @MihaiPopsoi]

A landslide victory for #Moldova’s European path. The ruling Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) retains the absolute majority in Parliament. This is the merit of Moldovans at home & abroad who defied expectations. Kremlin lost. Democracy won!

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

I’m wrapping up my mission in Budapest with this special exhibition dedicated to the Independence of the Republic of Moldova and our 🇪🇺 journey. Such a symbolic and hopeful moment!
It was wonderful to have with us 🇭🇺 officials, diplomats, Moldova’s friends, and our diaspora.

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

On 28 September, Moldova faces the most consequential election in our history.

We must choose: to strengthen our democracy on the path to EU membership — or to fall to Russia’s destabilisation, becoming a threat to Ukraine and to Europe.

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

On 27 August, the Republic of Moldova celebrates its Independence Day: 34 years of our young democracy. We are still a nation in the making, but determined to shape our own path. Our ultimate destination is the EU, and we are working with dedication to achieve that goal.

[EU in the Republic of Moldova @EUinMoldova]

The European Council approved the inclusion of the Republic of Moldova in the Roam Like at Home zone, starting January 1, 2026. Moldovan citizens will be able to make calls, send SMS, and use mobile internet in the EU at the same tariffs as in Moldova, with no extra charges.

[Gert Jan Koopman @GertJanEU]

Our Growth Plan for Moldova is delivering!

In September, we're launching a call for private investments to fuel Moldova's key sectors like energy, industry & tech.

A great opportunity for 🇪🇺, EEA & Moldovan business to invest in 🇲🇩's expanding market.

Happens on 4 of July in Chişinău
🇲🇩🤝🇪🇺

[EU in the Republic of Moldova @EUinMoldova]

On July 4, 2025, Chișinău will host the first-ever EU–Moldova Summit.

This event marks a reaffirmation of the EU's support for Moldova on its European path. The summit will bring together top EU decision-makers and Moldovan authorities.

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

With Ukraine and Romania, we are building a stronger, more resilient region—one that stands for peace, security, and European unity.

Our cooperation is a shield against aggression and a bridge to peace. Thank you for the productive meeting @ZelenskyyUa and @NicusorDanRO.

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

Palm Sunday is a day of peace. This morning, as people gathered to pray, Russia bombed Sumy—killing and injuring civilians. Moldova mourns with Ukraine and urges more air defence to save lives.

The aggressor must be held accountable. There is no justification for such evil.

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

Not every day you will see a European Commissioner rolling up their sleeves to cook traditional Moldovan food 🥘 😊

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Plăcintă perfectly embodies Moldovan hospitality, and I am grateful to have joined today’s cooking class @EuropeMediaLab.

Important to remember that #EUEnlargement is a two-way street and a valuable opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences & traditions.

🇪🇺 & 🇲🇩: a recipe for success!

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

I had the pleasure of moderating the inaugural discussion between our new ambassador, Mihail Barbulat, and young Moldovans in Hungary. We shared insights on academics, careers, integration challenges, and inspiring success stories. Looking forward to more interactions.

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

🇲🇩🇭🇺 On March 6, 2025, Mihail Barbulat presented his letters of credence to President Tamas Sulyok, officially assuming his mandate as New Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to Hungary.
Committed to strengthening Moldova-Hungary relations!

[Dr. Tamás Sulyok @DrTamasSulyok]

Today I received ambassadorial letters of credence at Sandor Palace. 🌎✉️
I wish successful collaboration and good endeavours to
➔His Excellency Mihail Barbulat, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of #Moldova 🇲🇩

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

❤️🤍 Spring in 🇲🇩 Moldova begins with Mărțișor – a symbol of renewal, hope, and unity.
As we celebrate this beautiful tradition, let’s foster #peace, kindness, and hope for new/better beginnings.

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

🇺🇦🫶

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

The truth is simple.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor.

Ukraine defends its freedom—and ours.

We stand with Ukraine.

[Irina Hohlov @IrinaHohlov]

powerful supportive speech delivered by 🇵🇱 MFA at today’s UNGA
#Ukraine #3yearsofwar

[Radek Sikorski @radeksikorski]

Ukraine is not, as the Russian ambassador said, a "project."
Poland supports peace, but peace that is stable; peace that respects the rights of the victim of aggression.
