New Speaker has first official meeting with Western diplomat

Newly-elected Speaker Mihai Ghimpu met Belgian Ambassador to Moldova Leo D'aes on Friday.

Mr. D'aes congratulated Mr. Ghimpu on his appointment, and the two officials spoke about the current social, economic, and political situation in the country.

Mihai Ghimpu's appointment is in limbo, however, after the Party of Communists challenged its legality at the Constitutional Court. The Court is supposed to rule in the next few days.
