Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the results of the recent general election in Moldova.

The 30 November Moldovan parliamentary elections illustrate Moldova’s commitment to democracy. We support the right of every Moldovan voter to have their say on the future they want for their country without outside interference.

We look forward to the quick formation of a new government which can govern in an inclusive and accountable manner, implementing the EU-Moldova Association Agreement and making progress in key policy areas including the fight against corruption, continued reform of the justice sector, and combating discrimination.
