On 27 October 2026, Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Valeriu Chiveri held a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania, Dan Neculăescu. 

The officials discussed a wide range of issues related to bilateral cooperation and sectoral partnership, focusing on Romania’s active role in providing ongoing support to the Republic of Moldova through various technical assistance and sustainable development projects, particularly in education, the strengthening of energy infrastructure, environmental protection, and other areas. 

The Deputy Prime Minister outlined the Government’s priorities in implementing reintegration policies and immediate support measures provided to residents on both banks of the Nistru River, and briefed the Romanian official on the dynamics of interaction within the existing dialogue formats between Chișinău and Tiraspol. 

The essence and stages of promoting the Convergence Fund were explained, clarifying that through this additional support mechanism, new activities and socio-economic projects will be implemented for the benefit of citizens of the Republic of Moldova residing in the Transnistrian region of the country, thereby helping to strengthen support from constitutional authorities and eliminate artificial disparities between the two banks. 

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed gratitude to Romania for its multifaceted assistance provided to educational institutions teaching in the Romanian language in the Transnistrian region, its firm support for the European integration path of the Republic of Moldova, and its constant contribution to promoting a peaceful settlement of the Transnistrian conflict while respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. 

The interlocutors agreed to maintain close cooperation and strengthen dialogue on issues of mutual interest.
