The European Union (EU) and the Republic of Moldova will hold their first-ever bilateral Summit in Chi\u0219in\u0103u \u2014a historic event that underscores Moldova\u2019s strategic trajectory toward EU membership.

The Summit brings together Ant\u00f3nio Costa, President of the European Council, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission and Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, along with the Moldovan leadership. Their presence of the EU officials in Chi\u0219in\u0103u sends a powerful message of unity, solidarity, and commitment to Moldova\u2019s future as an integral part of the European family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking place against the backdrop of Russia\u2019s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine and growing hybrid threats in the region, the Summit comes at an important moment for Moldova. Despite the challenges faced \u2013 from airspace violations and the humanitarian impact of refugee arrivals to disinformation campaigns, geopolitical pressures and energy crises \u2013 Moldova continues to make concrete progress toward EU integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a diplomatic milestone, the EU\u2013Moldova Summit stands as a public reaffirmation of the EU\u2019s long-term political, financial, and strategic support. It acknowledges Moldova\u2019s substantial progress in the enlargement process and the government\u2019s ambitious reform agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the discussions lie Moldova\u2019s sovereignty, security, and resilience. The EU remains committed to helping Moldova build a stable, secure, and democratic future \u2014 one that fully aligns with European values and standards. From energy diversification and rule of law reforms to countering hybrid threats, the EU stands firmly beside Moldova as a reliable and enduring partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, a wide-reaching information campaign, \u201cOne path, one future\u201d, was launched to highlight the tangible impact of the European Union\u2019s support for Moldova and its citizens. The campaign showcases how EU assistance has transformed communities, boosted local businesses, and directly contributed to improving people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of two weeks, journalists, students, entrepreneurs, officials, winemakers, civil society representatives, and human rights defenders shared their stories in video testimonials, illustrating how EU support has changed the face of Moldova \u2014 from the local to the national level \u2014 influencing key areas such as digitalisation, the economy, SMEs, civil society, the media, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cOne path, one future\u201d, campaign, launched in the context of the Moldova\u2013EU Summit, features a series of video testimonials reflecting the voices and experiences of citizens who have benefited directly or indirectly from EU support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
