Chişinău, July 12. /MOLDPRES/- President Maia Sandu spoke today about the modernization of the Republic of Moldova with Erin McKee, Assistant Administrator for USAID's Bureau of Europe and Eurasia, the presidential press service has reported.

Maia Sandu thanked the Government of the United States of America for the development assistance we have been receiving for more than three decades through USAID. The agency has financed several programs in various fields: agriculture, energy sector, education, culture, justice reform and fight against corruption, local development. USAID-supported projects contribute to the development of the economy and support of Moldovan entrepreneurs, helping them increase their production and export potential to developed markets and increase their earnings.

The officials also discussed how the Republic of Moldova can become energy independent by connecting the country to European energy systems and by diversifying energy sources. Thus, the Washington administration will allocate to our country non-reimbursable resources worth 300 million US dollars, according to the agreement signed on June 30, 2023.

The president welcomed USAID's request to the US Congress to provide more assistance to Moldova and our citizens.
