Moldovan Prime Minister to meet with Romanian President on November 13-14, with Russian counterpart on November 20

Prime Minister Vlad Filat was on ProTV tonight, speaking about the current political situation in Moldova and about the various loans that Moldova is seeking abroad. Mr. Filat spoke about the possibility of getting a one-billion-dollar loan from China and another one from Poland.

Mr. Filat noted that he will soon head to Bucharest to meet with Romanian President Traian Basescu between November 13-14, and then go to Moscow on November 20 to speak with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about a potential 150-million-dollar loan the Kremlin promised to give to Chisinau.

The Government recently signed a 590-million-dollar loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund.

Moldova has been reeling from the economic crisis, and will be using some of the loans to pay salaries and pensions.
