Today I had the honour of awarding President @GitanasNausėda the Order of the Republic — Moldova's highest distinction. For his personal commitment to our friendship. For Lithuania's unwavering voice for Moldova in every room that matters. Ačiū, Gitanas.

In Vilnius with President @GitanasNauseda. 36 years ago Lithuania restored its freedom. Moldova was first to say: we see you. Now we follow in your footsteps — towards the European Union. And we are grateful for a friend who stands with us.

I welcome the progress being made by Moldova towards EU membership. Delighted to welcome Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova for European Integration, @cgherasimov, to Iveagh House. 🇮🇪🤝🇲🇩🇪🇺 See ➡️ gov.ie/en/department-…

The enlargement of the European Union is a priority for Ireland during its hosting of the EU Presidency, the Minister for European Affairs said today. The minister today met with EU candidate Moldova's Deputy Prime Minister for EU Integration jrnl.ie/6959996

For four long years, Ukraine has defended not only its own freedom, but peace beyond its borders. Thank you for keeping Russia away from our country — and for protecting Europe. We stand with you — today and every day.

Thank you for the warm welcome in Warsaw, President @NawrockiKn. Moldova and Poland share a partnership built on trust, solidarity, and a clear understanding of the challenges facing our region. I look forward to our discussions today.

A very good meeting with @donaldtusk. We discussed Moldova’s EU accession, regional security, stronger trade links, and how to unlock more economic opportunities between our countries. Poland’s experience and support matter greatly for Moldova’s future in Europe.

We share a clear conviction: EU enlargement is not an act of generosity. It is an investment in Europe’s security. Enlarging the European Union means enlarging its area of peace, stability, and shared rules. Grateful for Poland’s support on our EU path, President @NawrockiKn.

Good meeting with President @ZelenskyyUa in Nicosia today. We discussed regional security, international efforts to restore a durable peace in Europe, European integration, and our bilateral agenda. Moldova stands with Ukraine and we will continue to work closely together.

Wishing President @Christodulides and Cyprus every success during the six months of its EU Council Presidency. In a time of geopolitical uncertainty, Cyprus’s focus on enlargement, regional security, economic resilience, and a stronger EU matters for our entire continent.

Moldova’s progress on its EU path is remarkable, dear @sandumaiamd. Moldova just joined the Single Euro Payments Area and the EU’s roaming scheme. Today in Nicosia, we continue to work together on the next steps towards EU accession. Making sure all Moldovans will benefit.

Happy Christmas to all those celebrating today!

Today I had the honour of meeting @Pontifex Leo XIV. We discussed peace, faith, and Moldova’s path to a better future. I shared how, with a war at our doorstep, Moldovans have shown kindness and generosity, rooted in Christian values. May peace prevail in Europe and unite us all.

Grateful to the @Europarl_EN for today’s resolution supporting Moldova’s resilience against hybrid threats. A day after my plenary address, and on the eve of a decisive vote, this strong message reaffirms our joint commitment to defend democracy.

Today in Rome, I had the pleasure of meeting @GiorgiaMeloni. We discussed how to bring Moldova and Italy even closer — in economy, development, and security. Grateful for Italy’s friendship and our shared commitment to peace, stability, and a strong European future.

In Strasbourg, I had a very good meeting with @coe’s @alain_berset. We spoke about the growing threats to European democracies and the need to stand stronger together. Living on the frontline of the fight for democracy, Moldova is ready to do its part with the Council of Europe.

Grateful to @ManfredWeber and @EPP colleagues for their unwavering support. Today in Strasbourg, we spoke about security challenges, defending democracy, and Moldova’s EU accession path. Together, we are stronger and safer.

Domnule Președinte @NicusorDanRO, ne bucurăm să vă avem din nou alături la Chișinău, pentru a sărbători împreună Ziua Limbii Române. La mulți ani tuturor celor care vorbesc limba română!

Thank you dear friends @EmmanuelMacron, @donaldtusk and @bundeskanzler for celebrating Moldova’s Independence Day with us.
