Moldova and Estonia strengthen cooperation in security, digitalisation and border management

The Minister for Internal Affairs, Daniella Misail-Nichitin, met with Her Excellency Siiri Königsberg, the newly appointed Ambassador of the Republic of Estonia to the Republic of Moldova. Discussions focused on shared security priorities and Estonia’s support for Moldova’s European integraton efforts.

Estonia’s experience is particularly valuable to Moldova in areas such as the digitalisation of public services, policing, cyber security and border management. Sharing expertise and best practices in these fields can help improve public services and strengthen institutional capacities.

The discussions also addressed the modernisation of border infrastructure, closer cooperation between the police forces of the two countries, and preparations for interoperability with European IT systems. Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the security of Moldova is closely linked to that of Europe, making cooperation with international partners essential to protecting citizens.

The Minister for Internal Affairs expressed her appreciation for the excellent cooperation with Estonia and the support it has provided over the years. Joint projects reflect a partnership built on trust, dialogue and tangible results. Both countries are committed to further strengthening this cooperation through joint initiatives that deliver benefits for citizens and support the alignment of Moldova’s institutions with European standards.
