Golovatiuc: Sandu Does Not Plan any Visits to Russia

So far, there are no signals about President's intention to visit the Russian Federation in the near future. This stated Vladimir Golovatiuc, the Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to the Russian Federation within the framework of a special issue on the NTV Moldova TV channel. At the same time, the Russian authorities are ready for a dialogue, aif.md reported. “Let's wait, our door is still open,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, according to Golovatiuc. So, answering the question whether the visit of Maia Sandu to the Russian Federation is being discussed, Golovatiuc said: “I cannot dissemble, but, unfortunately, no”. “We were glad on the one hand, that at January 15, meeting with all the heads of the Moldovan mission abroad which took place at the Foreign Ministry online, Russia was placed in the fourth position. The first was Romania, then Ukraine, then the EU, then the Russian Federation and then the United States. This is a serious statement. We were ready to start diplomatic work and prepare a high-ranking visit, “ Golovatiuc said. The Moldovan Ambassador to Russia informed Sergey Lavrov about this at a meeting that took place a little later. However, there have been no other signals from the Moldovan side since then. He (Sergey Lavrov - ed.) says: “We will wait. The door, Mr. Ambassador, is still open. " Diplomats are neat and careful people, especially a professional of such a high rank as Mr. Lavrov is”. He answered that way. But we no longer had other signals, - summed up Golovatiuc. The media note that Maia Sandu avoided visits to the Russian Federation when she was Prime Minister of Moldova. Since taking office as President, Sandu has traveled to Kiev, Brussels and Paris.
