The United States congratulates Maia Sandu on her election as Moldova’s next president

The United States congratulates Maia Sandu on her historic achievement as Moldova’s first female elected president.  Since 1991, the United States has been a dedicated partner to Moldova.  We have supported the Moldovan people as they have worked to build their democracy and a more prosperous future for their country.  Moldova’s leaders should now work together to face the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, develop Moldova’s economy, strengthen its democratic institutions, and defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.  The United States will robustly support these efforts.
