Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev met with the leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova Igor Dodon, the chairperson of the Heart of Moldova party Irina Vlah and the head of the Future of Moldova party Vasile Tarlev. They discussed cooperation between the two countries in the agro-industrial complex.
"The Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova have centuries-old relations that have survived a number of historical eras. Our bilateral ties have been strengthened thanks to a common culture. This applies to similar moral and ethical values, and belonging to the Orthodox world. Today, the relations between our countries are going through a difficult period. However, despite this, we have managed to build direct channels of interaction. Russia aims to maintain and develop dialogue with all constructive forces in Moldova that advocate for strengthening Moldovan statehood, the country's sovereignty and preserving its neutral status. Russia is ready for dialogue, including the resumption of work through the intergovernmental commission," said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister reported that last year in the agro-industrial complex, which is traditionally one of the key areas of cooperation between the two countries, the volume of mutual trade fell by another 20%. And deliveries to Russia also decreased by almost a third.
Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that Russia is ready to develop mutual cooperation, including in terms of trade in agricultural products and supplies of mineral fertilizers.
