Estonian Foreign Minister Tsahkna said that, together with Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popșoi, they launched the IMPACT North program of the Estonian Centre for International Development Cooperation (ESTDEV) in the Moldovan city of Bălți.

Tsahkna said the program would support communities in northern Moldova in attracting investment and turning local ideas into projects that improve people's lives.

Tsahkna said Estonia's experience in regional development and making use of European Union (EU) funds would be shared with Moldova, helping the country benefit more from the opportunities arising during its EU accession process.

Tsahkna said, "A stronger Moldova means a stronger and safer Europe."
