Prime Minister Dorin Recean noted that the Government wants every woman in the country to have the opportunity and the necessary resources to develop her own business. “The newly created body – the National Council for Economic Empowerment and Gender Equality – will provide the necessary expertise for the Government to improve its policies and Moldova to become the friendliest country in the region for launching businesses,” stated the official.
The head of the executive referred to the achievements of recent years in terms of support for women and the promotion of gender equality.
