Prime-minister Pavel Filip and his Czech counterpart Bohuslav Sobotka have attended the Forum of Moldovan and Czech businesspeople today.

Premier Pavel Filip has talked about the steps undertaken by the Moldovan authorities to insure political, economic and social stability as a key element to attract investments.

“We have managed to insure stability in Moldova and I invite you to invest! Moldova is a country with potential in business development. We’re close to signing a new agreement with the IMF what will untie our external financing. The Czech Republic is a crucial partner of Moldova and we’d like the Czech investors to get more involved in the Moldovan economy,” Pavel Filip said.

Bohuslav Sobotka has mentioned the positive cooperation experience between Moldova and the Czech Republic in implementing projects related to agriculture and water management, and has spoken in favor of developing economic relations and mutually promoting investments.

In 2015, the trade between Moldova and the Czech Republic was $75 millions.
