Chisinau, 27 September /MOLDPRES/ - Prime Minister Dorin Recean today evening gave his speech at the General Assembly of the United Nations. The official said that the peace, security, prosperity and freedom of choice today represented the essential agenda of Moldova.   

„We are a reliable partner for our neighbours, Romania and Ukraine, as well as for the European Union. We have maintained the peace and security in Moldova. The peace is not only our goal; it is our duty. The peace stays our principal commitment,’’ Dorin Recean said.    

At the UN rostrum, the PM also said that ‘’Moldova’s destiny belongs to the Moldovans, not to the powers from outside’’ and ‘’presently, our people is closer to the fulfillment of these aspirations than ever.’’ ‘’We are full of hope and resoluteness on our European integration way. The people of Moldova choose freedom. We choose Europe,’’ the official noted.    

According to the prime minister, ‘’Moldova is no longer a ‘’gray area’’, a profitable enterprise for laundering money for dishonest oligarchs and foreign powers, who robbed our state and people.’’   

The official referred also to the Transnistrian conflict, noting that ‘’Moldova is involved in its just and peaceful settlement, with full respect for the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.’’ In the context, the Moldovan prime minister said that ‘’the illegally deployed Russian troops must be withdrawn.’’

It is about our institutions – stronger than ever at present, due to the support of our partners,’’ the PM specified.   

In the end of his speech, the prime minister had a message in the Romanian language. ‘’Dear Moldovans, from home and from everywhere, now time is ripe for us to join our efforts, to be consolidated and bring Moldova where its place is – in the great European family, where the peace and prosperity are ensured,’’ Prime Minister Dorin Recean said.
