The United States is ready to invest more than $250 million in the construction of a new embassy in Chisinau on the territory of the former Republican stadium and calls on the Moldovan authorities to fulfill their obligations to sell it.
As noted in the report of the US Embassy in Moldova, the US criticizes the adoption by the Moldovan parliament on December 3 of a law repealing the law that allowed selling the territory of the former Republican stadium to the US for the construction of a new building of the US embassy. It is emphasized that the United States has been in good faith in negotiations with successive Moldovan governments on the acquisition of this site for more than 10 years, and the current cancellation violates a binding bilateral agreement, violates international law and negatively affects relations between the United States and Moldova. “The United States is ready to invest over $250 million in the construction of a new embassy in Chisinau, creating hundreds of jobs, supporting local businesses and revitalizing Chisinau's economy. We have repeatedly stated that any new construction in this area will respect the cultural and historical significance of this place. We call on the Moldovan authorities to rethink this step and fulfill the obligations of the agreement,” the US Embassy in Moldova said in a statement. // 04.12.2020 - InfoMarket.
