Trade missions should not be judged by how many people board the plane. They should be judged by the commercial progress they create. Following a planning meeting with Paul Kallee-Grover MBE, Dina Railean explains how the UK Business-Led Trade Mission to Moldova will combine company-specific preparation, targeted access and structured follow-up. Only two or three places remain for the mission during Moldova Business Week 2026.

CEO, Moldovan Diaspora Business Alliance Ltd, EN, Honorary Consul of Moldova in Manchester, Thought Leadership Series: Building Bridges

Moldova celebrates 35 years of independence at a defining point in its history. The first chapter established a sovereign state. The next must turn that independence into stronger institutions, sustainable prosperity and European integration. As Honorary Consul of the Republic of Moldova in Manchester, I congratulate Moldovans at home and across the world. I also invite British businesses, investors, universities and travellers to look beyond Moldova’s size and examine its talent, resilience and strategic position between the European Union and Ukraine.
