Moldova is taking part in one of the world’s most important international platforms dedicated to the future of governance, bringing forward its practical experience in adapting the rule of law to digital transformations and contemporary security challenges.
From Februarie 3 to 5, Minister of Internal Affairs Daniella Misail-Nichitin is participating in the World Governments Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The event brings together more than 60 heads of state and government, over 500 ministers, leaders of international institutions, experts, and private sector representatives from more than 150 countries to identify solutions applicable in a global context marked by rapid change.
During a panel discussion on how the rule of law can remain functional and credible in a world influenced by digitalisation, artificial intelligence and hybrid threats, the minister highlighted that Moldovan institutions are simultaneously managing security pressures, institutional transformation and technological modernisation.
The official emphasized that, for Moldova, the rule of law is a vital mechanism for protecting citizens in a regional environment marked by the war in Ukraine and persistent hybrid risks.
“For Moldova, the rule of law is not an abstraction – it is our strongest shield against instability. Moldova is on a clear and accelerated path toward European Union integration. We have achieved this through three strategic elements that are essential for any government operating in the digital age: a clear vision, a whole-of-government approach, and a whole-of-society commitment,” the minister said.
She also referred to the complex destabilization actions the country faced between 2023 and 2025, including attacks on critical infrastructure, energy blackmail, and attempts to influence democratic processes. The authorities’ response was grounded in institutional clarity, strong inter-institutional coordination, and the active involvement of society.
At the same time, the minister stressed that artificial intelligence must be used to enhance access to justice, prevent risks and increase institutional transparency, without replacing human decision-making or amplifying existing inequalities. Technology, she noted, must remain a tool in the service of democratic values.
On the side-lines of the summit, the Minister of Internal Affairs also participated in the ministerial roundtable dedicated to Transforming Governance through Data and Emerging Technologies (XDGs) – a high-level dialogue among governments on the responsible use of data, artificial intelligence and digital technologies in public decision-making. Discussions focused on exchanging good practices and identifying common approaches to improve the accessibility, transparency and coherence of public policies in the digital age.
Moldova’s participation in this summit strengthens the country’s position as a contributor of practical experience and relevant perspectives to the global debate on adapting the rule of law to the realities of a world shaped by crises, digitalization, and geopolitical competition.
