Speaker and interim President Mihai Ghimpu to meet Kremlin chief of staff

Speaker and interim President Mihai Ghimpu will meet with Kremlin chief of staff Sergei Naryshkin next week. Mr. Naryshkin will be in Chisinau to attend a Forum of Intellectuals and Researchers from the Commonwealth of Independent States, which is scheduled to take place in Chisinau between September 24 and 25.

It is unclear what the ties will be between the new ruling Alliance for European Integration and Russia since Moscow has often shown open support for the Party of Communists during its eight-year rule in Moldova. Russian officials have also expressed concern about the Alliance's pro-Western stance.
