Russia has a new Ambassador to Moldova. Farit Mukhametshin, the new Ambassador appointed by the Russian President, presented his letters of accreditation to the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday, the press service of the Ministry informs.
Mr. Mukhametshin had talks with the Moldovan Foreign Minister Iurie Leanca concerning Moldovan-Russian co-operation in political, economic and humanitarian realms, as well as the conflict in Transnistria.

Mr. Mukhametshin was appointed as Ambassador to Moldova after former Russian diplomat Valeri Kuzmin was recalled. Recently, the Moldovan Ambassador to Russia, Andrei Neguta was also recalled. His withdrawal took place because of discordant comments.
