The Moldovan enterprises, alongside the Romanian ones, could enter such large markets as China and Japan. This will enable business entities from Moldova and Romania to take part in economic missions, international fairs and business meetings. The proposal to initiate a project to internationalize Moldovan companies was discussed in a meeting of Prime Minister Pavel Filip and a delegation of the National Union of Romanian Employers in Chisinau, IPN reports.

According to the Government’s press service, the sides explored the possibility of realizing the economic potential of Moldovan and Romanian companies and exchanged opinions on potential transfrontier projects intended for the Moldovan-Romanian business community, such as the creation of a virtual platform for training specialists in IT.

The sides expressed their interest in developing the tourist potential of the two countries, supporting the idea of working out common tourist packages.

Pavel Filip said the Government is ready to implement new programs that would facilitate the development of the business sector, noting the proposals formulated by the representatives of the National Union of Romanian Employers will be analyzed by the Premier’s Economic Council.
 
In another development, Pavel Filip spoke about the executive’s initiatives to launch jointly operated customs posts on the Moldova-Romanian border, to eliminate the roaming charges between the two states and to build a bridge over the Prut.

As many as 1,678 companies with Romanian capital operate in Moldova at present. The neighboring state ranks third by the volume of investments made in the Moldovan economy.
