OREANDA-NEWS. April 08, 2013. Acting Prime Minister Vlad Filat attended the inauguration of the “Doing business with the USA” seminar, organised by the US embassy to Moldova and the American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova, the government’s communication and media relations department has reported.

Attending the event were American Ambassador to Moldova William Moser, the chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova, Cristina Harea and business people.

During his speech, Filat thanked the US government for the important support it offered Moldova and for helping Moldovan authorities organise the business seminar.

“I want to thank the US embassies in Chisinau and Bucharest as well as the American Chamber of Commerce for their efforts and for helping us maximally provide Moldovan businessmen with information on business opportunities with the USA and help them learn from the experience of creating a sustainable and profitable business,” Filat said.

The acting prime minister said the event was an opportunity to discuss Moldovan-American commercial ties, direct investments and further development opportunities.

“The future prospects of Moldovan-American commercial ties are rather large. It is important that during the seminar businessmen learn about all the programmes the US government is offering and make as many contacts as possible,” Filat said.

The Moldovan prime minister reiterated that the Moldovan government would take all the necessary efforts to ensure an attractive environment for the investments.

For his part, US Ambassador to Moldova William Moser reconfirmed the USA’s support for Moldova’s development in all the collaboration sectors.

“In this context, the American and the Moldovan governments are actively cooperating in order to improve the investment environment. There are no special recipes for success, as you must get the very best out of this seminary in order to create your own profitable business,” Moser said.

Acting Prime Minister Vlad Filat, US Ambassador to Moldova William Moser and the chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova, Cristina Harea, gave a joint news conference after the seminar’s launch.

Filat said the Moldovan government was especially focusing on the promotion of direct foreign investments, whereas the creation of new jobs was one of its priorities.

“Our main goal is to promote qualitative Moldovan products on the American market. We also want Moldovan businessmen to find American partners in order to cooperate and develop their businesses in the agriculture, advanced informational technologies or any other sectors. We have a lot to learn in all aspects,” Filat said.

The participants in the seminar will tackle opportunities Moldovan-American ties are currently offering. They will also share success stories as well as current information on US-sponsored government programmes for business people.
