Summary/Abstract: Following the visit of the President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, to Chișinău at the end of 2020, at the beginning of 2021, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, undertook her first visit abroad as head of state, meeting in Kyiv with her Ukrainian counterpart - Volodymyr Zelensky. Thus, even from the start of her mandate, President Sandu gave a clear signal that the relationship with the neighbours is a priority of the foreign policy of the Republic of Moldova. Regarding the visit of the Moldovan president to Kyiv, its purpose is to overcome the period of “freezing” of relations between Chișinău and Kyiv, a freezing caused by the former president – Igor Dodon, but also to contribute to bringing the bilateral Moldovan-Ukrainian relationship to another level.
