The Republic of Moldova, which holds the GUAM presidency this year, hosted the meeting of GUAM member governments. At the summit, Prime Ministers of the Republic of Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine and Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan reconfirmed their commitment to strengthening efforts to overcome economic, social and political challenges and to ensure security and stability in the region.
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova mentioned that the GUAM organization is an efficient platform for regional cooperation and a useful mechanism for solving the problems faced by the member countries.
"I am firmly convinced that the cooperation process within GUAM will have a positive impact on our efforts to achieve the common objectives for consolidating democracy, developing the economy and trade between the member states", said the Chief Executive of Chisinau.
Pavel Filip reiterated the importance of stepping up efforts to overcome frozen conflicts in the GUAM area, respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the member states of the Organization. To this end, the draft resolution on frozen conflicts in the GUAM area and their impact on peace, security and development within the UN General Assembly will be promoted.
In the context, Pavel Filip expressed gratitude to the GUAM countries for supporting the resolution on the withdrawal of foreign military forces from the territory of the Republic of Moldova.
"It was a solidarity gesture that could only be shown by the friends of the Republic of Moldova. The approval of this resolution is further evidence that only joining our efforts, including by working with GUAM, can make our voice heard at the level", said Prime Minister Pavel Filip.
The success of cooperation within the Organization has highlighted the development of international transport within the GUAM corridor and the development of the GUAM transport corridor. It has also been talked about the possibility of eliminating roaming charges between member countries of the Organization. The importance of completing and implementing the Free Trade Area in GUAM space was also emphasized.
The firm determination to continue cooperation within GUAM was reiterated by signing the joint declaration of the meeting and the protocol on customs cooperation. The signed protocol provides for an enhanced exchange of information on air cargo to combat customs fraud more effectively.
