Moldovan Parliament Speaker Zinaida Greceanii has called for boosting strategic cooperation with Moscow at a meeting with Russian Ambassador in the Republic of Moldova Oleg Vasnetsov on August 20, 2019.
During the discussion, the two sides exchanged views on the strengthening of Moldovan-Russian collaboration, as well as on the deepening of cooperation on the parliamentary connection.
"We have exchanged views on ways to boost cooperation between Moldova and Russia, as well as ties between the two countries’ parliaments. I reaffirmed the Moldovan parliament’s position about the need to strengthen strategic partnership with Russia," Speaker Greceanii said.
Presently, Moldova is discussing an option of gas supplies over the TurkStream gas pipeline with the Russian gas holding Gazprom, Moldova’s Minister of Economy and Infrastructure Vadim Brynzan said at a briefing on Tuesday.
"We are holding talks with partners from Russia, specifically from Gazprom, regarding the opportunity of gas supplies to the Republic of Moldova over the southern route, the so-called TurkStream," the Minister said.
In May 2017, Gazprom began construction of the offshore section of the TurkStream near the Russian Black Sea coast. The project envisaged the construction of the gas pipeline through the Black Sea to the European part of Turkey and further to the border with Greece. The length of the sea part of the pipeline will measure around 930 km, the overland part on the Turkish territory will be around 180 km.
