Italy will provide 10 million euros to the countries of the region, including Moldova, to overcome the refugee crisis.
This was announced by Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, who is on a visit to Chisinau. He noted that the Italian authorities have already donated more than 19 tons of humanitarian aid to Moldova from essential items: tents, blankets, sleeping bags, tent heaters, generators, etc. “I would like to confirm with my presence here the strong support of Moldova by the Italian government, as well its full solidarity with the Moldovan authorities and citizens. Moldova has made exceptional efforts to provide asylum to Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war,” the Italian Foreign Minister said. The head of the MFAEI, Nicu Popescu, thanked his Italian colleague for the assistance rendered to our country, and also noted that Italy provides financial assistance for Ukrainian refugees in Moldova through the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Red Cross, as well as through a contribution to the Migration Fund, funding assistance authorities to deal with the humanitarian crisis. These funds are intended to help us deal with this humanitarian crisis, the refugee crisis. The Foreign Ministers of Moldova and Italy signed a joint statement on cooperation in the context of the migration crisis, which confirms the determination to work together to provide refugees with medical, psychological, legal assistance, strengthen the international asylum system, as well as improve the possibilities of assistance and registration at the border. During the talks, the diplomats reaffirmed their support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders and called for an immediate end to Russia's aggression against the neighboring country.// 15.03.2022 — InfoMarket.
