U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday congratulated Maia Sandu on her historic reelection as the President of Moldova, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
"On Sunday, the Moldovan people went to the polls and voted in favor of President Sandu’s vision for a secure, prosperous, and democratic Moldova," Biden said in a statement.
"President Sandu’s reelection comes just two weeks after the Moldovan people passed a constitutional referendum in support of membership in the European Union," he added.
