Moldova is interested in continuing cooperation within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), President Maia Sandu said on Monday in an interview with PRO-TV.
"As long as the country can receive advantages from [CIS] agreements, it should receive them. Today, there problems with the observance of these agreements by the Russian side. But there are other countries we have commercial relations with. We should be pragmatic," she said when asked about Moldova’s possible withdrawal from the CIS after applying for a candidate to a European Union member.
Moldova’s pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity won the early parliamentary elections in 2021 and now it controls both parliament and the government.
The republic signed an association agreement with the European Union in 2014 and applied for EU membership in March 2022, along with Georgia and Ukraine.
Parliament speaker and the ruling party leader Igor Grosu said in March that Moldova should weigh all the pros and contras of its CIS membership.
Neither Sandu nor Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita have taken part in CIS meetings.
