Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has opened Israel’s first-ever embassy in Moldova, more than 30 years after the two countries established diplomatic relations, the Foreign Ministry says in a statement.
Sa’ar attends the inauguration ceremony in the capital Chisinau, where he is joined by Moldova Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mihai Popsoi.
“This is a historic moment that marks a milestone in the relations between the countries,” Sa’ar says, describing Moldova as “a friendly country to Israel.”
He says Israel’s policy is to “strengthen the relationships with our friends.”
“Today, we are upgrading our relationships, and we are doing it with great joy,” he says.
