Great to welcome @DFCgov Chief Policy Officer Caroline Vik to Chișinău so soon after our meeting in New York during #UNGA.
This was a very useful follow-up. Ms Vik moved quickly from our first conversation to a visit on the ground, and together with 🇺🇸Ambassador Burkhalter @USembMoldova and @GuvernulRMD colleagues we went deeper into concrete opportunities across energy and gas, logistics and transport infrastructure, and technology.
