What do you know about Moldova? 🇲🇩

As part of the opening of Norway's Embassy in Chișinău, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) asked our Deputy Head of Mission, Knut Joachim Tanderø Berglyd, to share some insights about Moldova and Norway's engagement in the country.

Moldova has faced significant challenges in recent years, including the consequences of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a refugee crisis, energy insecurity, high inflation and a complex security environment.

At the same time, the country is pursuing ambitious reforms and advancing on its path towards European Union membership.

Moldova is also the only neighbouring country prioritised under Norway's Nansen Support Programme for Ukraine. Learn more about Norway's engagement in Moldova and the Nansen Programme at regjeringen.no and norad.no 🇳🇴

Norway is increasing its support for efforts to assist deported Ukrainian children, detained civilians and prisoners of war through UNICEF and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Many Ukrainian children are currently in Russia after being unlawfully deported or forcibly transferred there. In addition, an unknown number of Ukrainian civilians have been unlawfully detained. Both civilians and prisoners of war are being held in extremely difficult conditions. Many families have no information about the whereabouts of their loved ones, and efforts to bring them home are complex and resource-intensive.

Last week, Knut and Petru attended the ICD Discussion Club: Building Resilience Together, which brought together civil society organisations, independent media representatives and development partners.

The discussion provided an opportunity to reflect on the achievements and lessons learned from the BRIC project, a Norwegian-funded initiative that supports independent media, strengthens civil society organisations and helps communities respond to disinformation in Moldova.

Participants also exchanged experiences and discussed future priorities for strengthening resilience and informed public dialogue.

A sincere thank you to to ICDC Moldova, IWPR and all partners who contributed to the BRIC project and to a valuable and informative discussion.

Who knew a few Nordic words could inspire so much creativity? 🇲🇩

Yesterday, the Embassies of Norway and Sweden, together with the Danish Cultural Institute, celebrated the European Day of Languages in Chișinău by inviting local schoolchildren to interpret Swedish, Danish and Norwegian words through drawings 🇳🇴 🇩🇰 🇸🇪

Given Nordic words and phrases, the pupils transformed them into colorful works of art, showcasing impressive creativity and unique perspectives. It was heartwarming to see how language can spark curiosity, inspire imagination and bring people together across cultures 🎨✨

Among the many wonderful drawings created during the event, here are a few interpretations of three uniquely Norwegian concepts:

🤝 Dugnad – Neighbours and communities working together for a common cause
🏡 Hyttekultur – Norway's love of cabin life and time spent in nature
🌲 Allemannsretten – Everyone's right to enjoy and explore nature

🇳🇴🤝🇲🇩

Am început vizita la New York cu o discuție despre una dintre principalele noastre preocupări de acasă - energia.

M-am întâlnit cu prim-ministrul Norvegiei, Jonas Gahr Støre, și i-am mulțumit pentru sprijinul oferit Moldovei.

Anul trecut, Norvegia a ajutat circa 120 de mii de gospodării să treacă mai ușor peste iarnă. Tot Norvegia susține modernizarea a 5 școli model din țară. Sunt lucruri care se văd direct în viața oamenilor.

Astăzi, prețurile la energie cresc din nou și presiunea asupra familiilor va fi mare. Am discutat despre posibilitatea de a continua acest sprijin și în 2027, inclusiv prin mecanismele care au funcționat deja pentru compensațiile la energie.

M-am bucurat și de decizia Norvegiei de a-și transforma prezența de la Chișinău într-o ambasadă cu drepturi depline - un semnal că relația noastră devine și mai apropiată.

Am încheiat cu o invitație către companiile și fondurile norvegiene să investească mai mult în Moldova.

Mulțumesc Norvegiei pentru sprijin și pentru o prietenie care devine tot mai concretă.
