Relations between the Republic of Moldova and Germany have a solid foundation dating back to the early 1990s. Germany was among the first countries to recognize Moldova's independence in 1991 and has since played a key role in the country's political and economic reform processes.

Cultural cooperation is reflected in numerous partnerships between universities, schools, and cultural institutions. The Goethe Center is active in Chişinău, and German is taught in many schools across the country. Academic exchange and vocational training programs promote networking between the two countries.

Economic relations are developing dynamically. Germany is one of Moldova's most important trading partners. German companies are increasingly investing in manufacturing, the electrical industry, IT services, and agricultural processing. Projects in the fields of green energy and digitalization are also receiving increased support.

Sister cities, such as those between Chișinău and Mannheim, Ungheni and Worms, or Bălți and Bielefeld, stimulate inter-municipal exchange in education, culture, the environment, and administration. These connections promote civil society dialogue and the transfer of know-how.

Since Moldova received EU candidate status in 2022, cooperation with Germany has further intensified. Germany actively supports reforms in the judicial system, the fight against corruption, and the development of effective administrative structures.

In 2024, new agreements on financial and technical cooperation were signed and support programs for small and medium-sized Moldovan enterprises, particularly those focused on exports and innovation, were launched. 

Moldova is now open to new partnerships and firmly committed to joining the European Union. Germany remains a reliable partner – economically, politically, and culturally.
