The President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, had a joint discussion with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre, during the second EPC Summit in Bulboaca.

"I had a good discussion with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. I thanked for Norway's decision to allocate additional non-reimbursable financial assistance to the Republic of Moldova.
