One of the main tasks facing the SCC today, according to the president, is to change the committee's working philosophy.

Speaking about the implementation of foreign policy, the president instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to continue the dialogue with Moldova about unblocking the work of the Joint Control Commission, as well as to develop a package of substantive economic, humanitarian and cultural proposals to discuss with Moldovan representatives. The head of state stressed: «The foreign ministry should be ready for the possibility of holding consultations in the 1+1 and 5+2 formats. The work of the relevant expert groups from Moldova and the PMR should be continued.»
