Lithuanian Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius is on an official visit to Chisinau. Mr. Kubilius has met with several Moldovan officials, including Prime Minister Vlad Filat and Speaker and interim President Mihai Ghimpu.
The Lithuanian P.M. promised that his country would support Moldova's European integration aspirations, and that it would promote Chisinau's interests both in Brussels and in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Kubilius thanked Mr. Ghimpu for Moldova being the first Soviet state to recognize Lithuania's independence on May 31, 1990.
The Baltic states and Moldovan democrats have always had a very friendly relationship, which goes back to the period of national liberation in the 1980s in the Soviet Union. At that time, the four countries sent delegates to each other's mass demonstrations in favor of independence. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania continue to support Chisinau's democratic aspirations, and have promised to help Moldova get closer to joining the E.U.
