Moldova Government just approved today the draft law for the Agreement on social security between the Republic of Moldova and the Republic of Turkey, signed in Chisinau on 5 May 2017.

The purpose of the Agreement is to ensure the social security for Moldovan workers who reside or work in either one of the states.
