The national armies of Moldova and Romania will cooperate in troops training and anti-terror, the chiefs of the general staffs of Moldova and Romania, Ion Coropceanu and Mihai Popescu, respectively, announced at a news conference in Chisinau on Wednesday.
General Popescu observed that the cooperation plan also covers the technical assistance, student exchanges, experience exchanges, and information exchanges, and combat endowment of the armed forces. Popescu avoided comments on an eventual participation of Romanian soldiers in a future multinational peace mission in the Transnistrian region, saying that this is an issue of political nature.
In turn, General Coropceanu said that the experience of the Romanian army as part of NATO is worth studying in the context of military reforms in the Moldovan armed forces.
"The good ties between the Moldovan army and the Romanian army correspond the respected values in our countries, and represent our contribution to security and stability in Europe and in the region," Coropceanu said.
