Minister of Defense Anatol Salaru Meets with US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia Evelyn Farkas



CHISINAU, October 22, 2015 — Minister of Defense, Anatol Salaru, met with US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia, Dr. Evelyn Farkas.

The meeting took place within the South-Eastern Europe Defense Ministerial (SEDM), held in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The regional security, the National Army reformation, and the bilateral military cooperation between the USA and the Republic of Moldova were the main issues discussed by the officials.

The Minister of Defense thanked the US Government for the assistance to the Ministry of Defense and the National Army in the reformation sector and military capacity building. Anatol Salaru also thanked Dr. Evelyn Farkas for the activity and contribution during her mandate.

Minister Salaru reiterated that the Republic of Moldova is facing two great challenges: on one hand, the hybrid war in Ukraine and the military-political situation in the region, on the other hand, the political and economical instability of our country.

Anatol Salaru mentioned that one of his main goals, as Minister of Defense, is to adjust the National Army to the standards of NATO member-states’ armies.

Dr. Evelyn Farkas expressed her worries about the political situation of the Republic of Moldova, saying that the political instability slows down Moldova’s EU integration process.

The American official stated that the USA will put the stress on the military education of Moldovan officers, bringing as an example Ukraine, which conducts territory defense exercises.

Evelyn Farkas thanked the Minister of Defense for the participation of Moldovan servicemembers in KFOR Mission in Kosovo. Dr. Farkas assured the Republic of Moldova of the US assistance, even if her mandate as US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia is to end soon.
