During the Munich Security Conference, President Maia Sandu continued discussions on Moldova’s security, the country’s resilience to external threats, and its European integration path. She held bilateral meetings with Latvia’s President Edgars Rinkēvičs and Montenegro’s President Jakov Milatović.

President Sandu also met with Germany’s Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Reem Alabali-Radovan, with whom she discussed the continuation of German assistance for Moldova — including water and sanitation projects and initiatives to improve energy efficiency, all aimed at raising living standards in local communities.

Additionally, she met with parliamentarians from Estonia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, promoting Moldova’s strategic objective of joining the European Union.

As part of the conference program, the President took part in a panel on preventing and countering hybrid threats, alongside Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, the head of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service Martin Jäger, and NATO Military Committee Chair Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.

President Sandu emphasized that Moldova may be on the front line of Russia’s hybrid warfare, but this is fundamentally a cognitive war against Europe — against its values, unity, and societal trust. She stressed that a stronger Moldova inside the European Union means a stronger and safer Europe.
