Thus, Moldovan citizens residing in the USA will have faster and more efficient access to consular services. The project was approved at a government meeting on Thursday, 13 March.
According to the project, the creation of new diplomatic missions will ensure efficiency in the provision of consular services, contribute to shortening recording times and deepening dialogue with Moldovan communities, zdg.md reports.
“This is necessary due to the increasing number of Moldovan citizens in the USA and is aimed at providing efficient and quality consular assistance. Thus, the mechanism for protecting the rights and interests of Moldovan citizens in the USA will be strengthened,” the government said.
Consulates General in Sacramento and Chicago are expected to open in late March.
Currently, Moldovan citizens residing in the United States can avail themselves of consular services by contacting the only consular official at the diplomatic mission in Washington.
