Moldova begins official exit from CIS
Political
The Government of Moldova has officially initiated the process of exiting the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The decision follows the approval of the denunciation of key founding documents, including the Agreement on the Establishment of the CIS, the CIS Charter, and the Alma-Ata Declaration.
According to the resolution, the bill denouncing the CIS Charter, signed in Minsk on January 22, 1993, has been submitted to the President for consideration.
Moldova’s Foreign Minister, Mihai Popșoi, emphasized that once these documents are officially revoked, the republic will legally cease to be a member of the CIS, although its de facto participation in the organization had already been suspended earlier.
Experts note that this step marks a significant historical milestone for the country and formalizes Moldova’s distancing from post-Soviet integration structures, consolidating its transition to an independent foreign policy trajectory.
