“This happened mainly due to the fact that the pro-European Action and Solidarity party came to power, and Maia Sandu, the founder of this party, occupies the presidency of the country.

Meetings have already been held on the parliamentary platform (a visit to our country by the vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament), meetings at the level of the government, youth organizations, educational institutions, and, of course, business structures. Diasporas are active, especially the numerous Azerbaijani diaspora in Moldova. And this is just the beginning. These contacts will be strengthened, new areas of interaction for mutually beneficial projects will be touched upon. This, in particular, is facilitated by the efforts undertaken in Moldova by the Ambassador of Azerbaijan, Gudsi Osmanov," he underlined.

Cooperation in the field of culture, education, and security is also being actively considered.
