Moldova and NATO: Balancing neutrality with stronger defense capabilities
The Republic of Moldova has maintained a relationship with the North Atlantic Alliance for over 30 years, and this partnership has continually evolved. Currently, there are several areas where cooperation can be enhanced for the benefit of our country. This is particularly relevant in light of the Moldova-NATO Individual Partnership Programme (ITPP) for 2025-2028 , which was recently approved by the government in Chișinău. In an interview with Radio Moldova, Viorel Cibotaru, the Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to Belgium, stated that through joint military exercises and cooperation, our country has strengthened its defense capabilities while upholding its status of neutrality.
