Moldova’s diaspora can do more than preserve culture and community connections. It can help exporters find buyers, investors understand the market and institutions build trusted partnerships. Following my meeting with Moldova’s Office for Diaspora Relations, I examine how diaspora economic diplomacy can strengthen links between Moldova and the North West of England. I also introduce the First UK Business-Led Trade Mission to Moldova, which will coincide with Moldova Business Week 2026.

Moldova at 35: A European Future Takes Shape

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.

Diplomacy is no longer shaped only in national capitals.

Liverpool Welcomes Europe 2026 demonstrated how cities can use trade, universities, culture, ports and investment networks to create practical international opportunities.

Dina Railean examines what City Diplomacy could mean for Moldova, the North West, European integration and the future reconstruction of Ukraine.
