Prime Minister Vasile Tofan made this statement during a meeting with the new U.S. Ambassador to our country, Joseph Burkhalter. The main topics of discussion were strengthening economic cooperation, attracting U.S. investment into the national economy, and implementing joint projects in areas of mutual interest. The Prime Minister spoke highly of relations between Moldova and the U.S. and emphasized the government's interest in developing this partnership through concrete projects that will benefit both countries. In this regard, the parties discussed investment opportunities in logistics, agriculture, road and rail infrastructure, as well as in other sectors with growth potential. Vasile Tofan noted that Moldova could become a very attractive destination for U.S. investment. "Although we are a small market, we can be more agile and flexible in creating conditions that allow companies to invest here and subsequently serve larger markets. In this regard, we are fully committed to reducing bureaucracy and creating attractive conditions for investors," the prime minister stated. In this context, he once again invited American companies to invest in Moldova and take advantage of the opportunities our country offers. The head of government emphasized that the goal is to attract investments that will create jobs and added value in Moldova, as well as provide American companies with new opportunities for growth. In addition, Vasile Tofan noted that Moldova is interested in strong transatlantic relations and cooperation focused on practical results. The Prime Minister emphasized that Moldova's decision to eliminate customs duties on imports from the U.S. demonstrates its openness to deepening bilateral economic relations. Another topic of discussion was cooperation in the energy sector. The Prime Minister expressed Moldova's interest in importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States and in the possibility of concluding long-term contracts. The parties agreed to continue their dialogue with the aim of identifying specific projects and new opportunities for economic, investment, and energy cooperation between Moldova and the United States. // 01.10.2026 — InfoMarket
