The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, expressed condolences to the family and friends of the first President of Moldova, Mircea Snegur, in connection with his death – as BelTA was reported by the Belarusian leader’s press service

“The political fate of Mircea Snegur was inextricably linked with the formation of Moldova as a sovereign state, as a full member of international organisations and as a participant in integration associations such as the UN and the CIS,” the Head of State underlined.

Belarus remembers that during his tenure as president, the fundamental documents of Belarusian-Moldovan relations were concluded, in particular the Treaty of Friendship and Co-operation, and Mircea Snegur himself took part in the opening of the Belarusian embassy in Chisinau in 1995.
