SUMMARY:Rising to the Challenge: Moldova During Russia's War
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Committee on Foreign Relations (CCFR) is exclusive to Under 35\, Diplomat\, and Ambassador members and their guests. An email with registration information will be sent to eligible members prior to the event. \nCCFR is honored to host Ambassador Vladislav Kulminski to discuss how Moldova has emerged as a bright spot amidst an era of global insecurity and uncertainty. The country has made meaningful progress in strengthening the country’s democratic transition\, establishing the foundations for economic growth\, and charting a path toward European integration. Yet that progress remains fragile. Russian hybrid warfare\, economic and political pressures\, and the spillover effects of the war in neighboring Ukraine have tested Moldova’s resilience. Meeting these continued challenges will require sustained international support\, including a strong partnership with the United States. \nThe Cleveland Committee on Foreign Relations is a dinner and dialogue series that provides unparalleled access to top experts and diplomats for candid discussions of today’s most pressing international issues. Participation is exclusive to Diplomat and Ambassador members and their guests. To join\, renew\, or upgrade your membership\, please click here(opens in new tab).
