Hudson Institute is delighted to welcome Mihai Popșoi, the deputy prime minister and foreign minister of the Republic of Moldova. Since 2017, Minister Popșoi has served as a leader in Moldova’s pro-Western party, the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), led by President Maia Sandu. He served first as its vice president and then as the head of its parliamentary group in the Moldovan Parliament. For the past five years, he served as deputy speaker of the parliament.
Minister Popșoi has played an important role in facilitating Moldova’s ever closer relationship with the European Union. He also has deep connections to the United States, having served as an analyst at the US embassy in Moldova in the 2010s before entering politics. Minister Popșoi’s visit to Hudson comes on the eve of the Washington summit, to which President Joe Biden has invited senior representatives from key partner countries around the world, including Moldova.
Senior Fellows Peter Rough and Luke Coffey recently published a policy memo, “How the US Can Beat the Kremlin in Moldova,” following interviews in Chișinău this spring. Please join Hudson as Senior Fellow Dan Kochis introduces Minister Popșoi, who will then sit down with Coffey for a fireside chat about Moldova’s foreign policy and the Washington summit.
