MOSCOW, May 27 (Xinhua) -- A Moldovan-Russian economic forum will be held in the Moldovan capital of Chisinau this year, TASS news agency reported Sunday, citing Moldovan President Igor Dodon.
The forum will be held on Sept. 20-22, with the participation of potential Russian investors, said Dodon.
The agreement on holding such an event was signed on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum earlier this week.
The Moldovan leader made his first foreign visit as president to Moscow in mid-January 2017, less than a month after taking office.
He stressed that restoring full-fledged ties with Russia, his "priority goal as head of state," will have a positive impact on the Moldovan economy and benefit a large number of farmers and migrant workers.
