Moldova's President Maia Sandu visited Cyprus. This was a very important trip. It was the first visit between them in twenty years. The two leaders want their countries to be friends. Cyprus is in the European Union.
The visit had special events. There was a welcome with soldiers. They played both country songs. President Sandu saw a special place for Archbishop Makarios III. Then, she talked with President Nikos Christodoulides. Their helpers were there too. They talked about helping each other. This is for laws, schools, and travel.
Many people think this meeting is good. Cyprus will lead the EU next year. This is a big job. Moldova wants to join the EU. It needs help from other EU countries. President Christodoulides said Cyprus will help Moldova.
Cyprus helps Moldova. Moldova follows EU rules. Moldova also agreed with rules against Russia. President Sandu is happy about Cyprus leading the EU. She has good hopes. Both countries want the same from the EU.
This new friendship is good for Moldova. It also helps Cyprus talk about new EU members. The visit fixed a long time without talking. It is a good start for their future.
