Foreign Minister Leanca: Moldova has no plans to join NATO
Foreign Affairs and European Integration Minister Iurie Leanca, who was in Brussels today to attend a NATO conference, told Russian news agency Itar Tass that Chisinau has no plans to join NATO.
Mr. Leanca stressed that Moldova is a neutral country, according to its constitution, and that Chisinau has ties with NATO based on an individual partnership plan.
The new ruling Alliance for European Integration is visibly more pro-Western than the former ruling Party of Communists (2001-2009), as a result of which some opposition members and media outlets have written about Chisinau's possible plans of joining NATO or at least developing closer ties with the organization.
