Ce se află pe agenda publică a vizitei la Moscova a premierului Vlad Filat
September 10, 2012
Prim-ministrul Republicii Moldova, Vlad Filat efectuează o vizită de două zile în Federaţia Rusă la invitaţia omologului său, Dmitri Medvedev. Premierul moldovean va avea întâlniri cu preşedintele Federaţiei Ruse, Vladimir Putin, premierul Dmitri Medvedev, preşedintele Dumei de Stat, Serghei Narîşkin şi alţi înalți oficiali.
Cele mai importante subiecte de pe ordinea de zi a negocierilor vor fi soluţionarea diferendului transnistrean şi importul de gaze naturale din Rusia. Totodată, seful Guvernului de la Chișinău a precizat că nu va discuta la Moscova despre consulatul de la Tiraspol sau despre un nou contract cu Gazprom.
Întâlnirea cu Putin are loc la cererea Moldovei, iar pe agenda discuţiilor se vor afla toate problemele de interes comun, de la preţul gazelor şi datoria Transnistriei, la relaţiile comerciale şi situaţia sutelor de mii de moldoveni care se află în Rusia. În cadrul vizitei va fi discutată cooperarea bilaterară în domeniul energetic, economic şi umanitar. De asemenea, va fi discutat şi acordul care vizează politica în domeniul migraţiei.
Înainte de vizita sa, Vlad Filat a declarat într-un interviu că relaţiile bune cu Rusia nu sunt în contradicţie cu vectorul european al Republicii Moldova. Premierul a subliniat că este necesar ca Moldova să aibă relaţii foarte bune cu toţi partenerii, iar relaţiile cu Federaţia Rusă urmează a fi aduse în conformitate cu prevederile stipulate în acordurile bilaterale.
„Eu nu ştiu cine şi de unde a luat că integrarea europeană a R. Moldova vine în contradicţie cu bunele relaţii, în cazul dat este vorba de relațiile cu Federaţia Rusă. Republica Moldova are necesitate în a avea relaţii foarte bune cu toţi partenerii săi”.
Premierul moldovean, Vlad Filat, a mai spus că rolul Rusiei este foarte important în soluţionarea conflictului transnistrean şi inevitabil, vor avea loc discuţii pe marginea acestei probleme. “Nu vom avea o abordare îngustă în acest sens, vom aborda problema în complexitatea ei”, susţine Vlad Filat.
Reprezentantul preşedintelui rus pentru regiunea transnistreană, Dmitri Rogozin, declara recent că problema transnitreană va fi discutată în cele mai mici detalii. Vicepremierul rus consideră că această vizită va aduce o noua speranţă pentru consolidarea păcii pe ambele maluri ale Nistrului.
Un alt subiect important ce urmează a fi abordat cu oficialii ruşi este şi problema energetică. Ministrul Economiei, Valeriu Lazăr, susţine că Republica Moldova nu mai poartă discuţii cu Moscova de pe poziţia “frate mai mic-frate mai mare”. Potrivit lui Lazăr, Republica Moldova a avut o strategie absolut corectă. “Avem în spate trei ani deloc uşori, dar noi absolut conştient am mers anume pe această strategie de comportament: nu facem concesiuni politice, ajungem, oricât de greu ne-ar fi, la nişte preţuri medii regionale”, declară ministrul Economiei.
Totodată,Vlad Filat va participa la inaugurarea oficială a Zilelor culturii Republicii Moldova în Federaţia Rusă, care se vor desfăşura până pe 15 septembrie. Premierul va avea întrevederi şi cu reprezentanţii diasporei.
Amintim că funcţia de ambasador al Republicii Moldova în Federaţia Rusă a devenit vacantă după ce Andrei Negruţă a fost rechemat din cauza unei declaraţii făcute într-un interviu acordat agenţiei ruse Itar-Tass. Anterior premierul Vlad Filat declara că ambasadorul Republicii Moldova va fi desemnat până la plecarea sa la Moscova, însă se pare că AIE nu a reuşit să atingă un consens în acest sens.
“Am spus că acesta este un obiectiv, din păcate nu am reușit să-l atingem. Nu este nicio problemă, la revenire vom continua discuţiile şi vom anunţa candidatul”, a menţionat Filat.
Printre posibilii candidaţi, numele cărora au fost vehiculate în presă, se numără deputatul PLDM, Chiril Lucinschi, viceministrul Afacerilor Externe, Andrei Popov şi fostul angajat al diplomaţiei de la Chişinau, Mihai Diacov.

Argentina Navy Chief fired after ARA San Juan submarine tragedy
ARGENTINA – Argentina has fired the head of its Navy a month after one of its submarines vanished with 44 crew members on board. Admiral Marcelo Eduardo Hipolito Srur was sacked by the country’s defence minister. The ARA San Juan was last heard from on November 15 when it reported a fire on board. A navy spokesperson said the message added that the issue was resolved. But it was still ordered to return to base at Mar del Plata.
The ARA San Juan has not been heard from since, despite a multi-national search effort some 250 miles off the Argentinian coast. Hopes for finding the submarine and its crew faded when the search passed 10 days, which was the amount of time the San Juan would have been able to sustain life with its limited oxygen supply.
U.S. Displays Weaponry It Says Proves Iran’s Influence
New UN report says investigators couldn’t definitively conclude missiles came from Iran. The U.S. for the first time publicly displayed what officials said were Iranian-made missiles, drones and other weaponry as proof of Tehran’s growing military influence in the Middle East.
At a hangar on an Air Force base in Washington, D.C.—where weapons remnants were on display— Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said the debris pointed to Iran’s threat to the region. Pentagon officials exhibited the weaponry to make their case that Tehran is actively fomenting instability, arming Houthi rebels inside Yemen who in turn have used the arms against American allies, particularly Saudi Arabia. Iran has denied that it arms the Houthis.

US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was in the Indian capital on Tuesday, marking the first visit to the country by a Cabinet-level official from President Donald Trump’s administration. In meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other officials, Mattis was expected to focus discussions on security in Afghanistan, military technology and a possible deal on fighter jets.

North Korea fires second ballistic missile over Japan
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile across Japan, creating new tension in the region after its nuclear bomb test less than two weeks ago. The missile reached an altitude of about 770km (478 miles), travelling 3,700km before landing in the sea off Hokkaido, South Korea’s military says. It flew higher and further than one fired over Japan late last month.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said his country would “never tolerate” such “dangerous provocative action”. South Korea responded within minutes by firing two ballistic missiles into the sea in a simulated strike on the North. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also condemned the launch and the UN Security Council will meet later on Friday, 15 September 2017, in New York at the request of America and Japan.
