Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popsoi signed a legal and commercial cooperation agreement between the two countries, the Justice Ministry announced on Wednesday.
The ministry noted that the Tuesday agreement “is part of the general policy geared to strengthening Israel’s position in the international arena and establishing foundations for civil cooperation and inter-state trade.”
Popsoi said the agreement “signifies a turning point in our bilateral relations and offers advantages to civilians of both countries.”
The agreement “thrusts Israeli-Moldovan relations into a new realm and will contribute to prosperity and success,” said Levin.
The ministry further noted that this is the first agreement of its kind to be signed in decades and that it would aid in legal certainty, advancing trade relations, protecting the rights of lawyers, and enforcing legal decisions.
