According to him, this document is an important step for both sides.


Dorin Recean, the Prime Minister of Moldova, signed the agreement on behalf of the country, while the European Union was represented by a High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.


This partnership is the first with the EU in the field of defense and security for Moldova, and will contribute to strengthening the country's security and joint response to challenges.


The agreement was preliminarily announced last week, and it also plans to sign a security agreement with Ukraine in the coming months in accordance with the G7 Vilnius Declaration.
