Ukraine and Moldova continue to implement agreements on joint control at border crossing points.

"Today, during an online meeting with Prime Minister Dorin Recean, we signed a number of protocols that will simplify and reduce the time for citizens and cargo to cross the Ukrainian-Moldovan border," said Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

According to him, this will intensify trade and economic cooperation between Ukraine and Moldova. Such arrangements will also increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the border capacity using the best European practices.

He noted that the latter is particularly important in the context of our common movement towards the European Union.
