OSLO - Norway and Moldova on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding to tighten cooperation in the energy sector aimed at securing supply in the eastern European country that is trying to end its long-standing reliance on Russia.
A former Soviet republic and one of Europe's poorest nations, Moldova is seen as particularly vulnerable to the consequences of Russia's war in neighbouring Ukraine. It also provides financial support to Moldova through its multi-billion-dollar Ukraine aid programme, the latter including 400 million crowns for the purchase of gas in 2023.
The country does not currently buy gas from Russia but its breakaway Transdniestria region relies on its supplies.
