The Republic of Moldova's European path is a shared priority and a strategic investment in the stability of the region and the entire continent, President Nicusor Dan said on Friday in Dublin, where he is attending the European Political Community meeting.

He added that Romania must also continue to support Ukraine in achieving a just and lasting peace.

'Common European challenges call for a coordinated response: stronger security, increased competitiveness, strategic connectivity and democratic resilience. These are important issues for Romania and all European countries, which we discussed yesterday in Dublin at the ninth meeting of the European Political Community. A stronger, safer and better-connected Europe depends on our joint decisions and actions, with special attention being paid to the eastern flank. We must continue to support Ukraine in achieving a just and lasting peace, while strengthening our collective capacity to counter hybrid threats, foreign interference and information manipulation,' the head of state said in a Facebook post.

According to him, the discussions also addressed the future of European security, closer cooperation in combating drug trafficking and a coordinated approach to migration.

'At the meeting of the Moldova Support Platform, I reaffirmed Romania's unwavering support for the security, resilience and European integration of the Republic of Moldova. The Republic of Moldova's European path is a shared priority and a strategic investment in the stability of our region and the entire continent,' the President stressed.
