Russia is ready for a full restoration of economic relations with Moldova, but on a mutually beneficial basis, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said on Wednesday.
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th September, 2018) Russia is ready for a full restoration of economic relations with Moldova, but on a mutually beneficial basis, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said on Wednesday.
"We are ready for a full restoration of relations with the Republic of Moldova, but on a mutually beneficial basis," Kozak, who is also Russian President's Special Representative for Moldova, said at a meeting with Moldovan President Igor Dodon.
Chisinau made decisions that "de facto restricted access to the Moldovan market" for Russian businessmen, and Moscow was forced to take countermeasures, the deputy prime minister noted.
"This is an abnormal situation, the Russian government is ready for cooperation, we are ready to support the zeal and aspirations of businesses," he added.
Moldova, a parliamentary republic, has long been experiencing a stand-off between the president and the government over the country's foreign policy. Dodon, who took office as president of Moldova on December 23, 2016, insists on rapprochement with Russia, while the parliamentary majority and the government stick to a pro-Western course in foreign policy and call for the withdrawal of Russian forces deployed as part of the peacekeeping mission in the breakaway region of Transnistria.
