U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was in Romania today during a three-nation tour of Eastern Europe.
During his talks with Romanian President Traian Basescu, Mr. Biden noted that Washington was a supporter of Moldovan democracy and that it wanted to contribute to the stabilization of the Moldovan economy.
"We share a desire that Romania's neighbors, including Moldova, will continue along the path for democracy and ... that they will be integrated into European institutions when they are ready," the American V.P. said during a press conference after the meeting.
Mr. Biden has also spoken with Polish officials and will soon meet with Czech representatives.
U.S. Ambassador to Moldova Asif Chaudhry previously said that his country would offer Moldova a 262-million-dollar loan.
The new ruling Alliance for European Integration is generally perceived to be more pro-Western than the former ruling Party of Communists. It seeks closer ties with the European Union and with NATO.
