"Moldovan parliamentarians and their Polish colleagues will discuss various topical issues, both in the field of security, especially in the context of the situation in Ukraine, and in the field of economy, energy and development between Moldova and the Republic of Poland," Moldova's parliament said.

The Moldovan lawmakers will also take part in the discussion of conditions for their country's accession to the European Union.

Moldova is experiencing an energy crisis due to rising prices, with gas tariffs increasing almost seven-fold in 2022 and electricity tariffs almost four-fold. The population's debts for utilities have increased. Against the backdrop of higher energy prices and rising inflation, anti-government protests have been taking place in the country for months.
