Moldovan president receives accreditation letters from three ambassadors

President Nicolae Timofti received credentials from three ambassadors at the state residence today.

These are: Latvian Ambassador Juris Poikans, Kiev–based Japanese Ambassador Shigeki Sumi, and Bucharest-based Egyptian Ambassador Mohamed Aly Shawky Alaaeldin Elhadidi.

At the meeting with the Latvian diplomat, the president expressed confidence that next year's takeover of the EU Council Presidency by Latvia, as well as the holding of the Eastern Partnership Summit in Riga in May 2015 would help boost Moldova’ European integration. (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Iwo29lRQk&feature=youtu.be)
