Moldova: Disinformation

Asked by Stephen GethinsScottish National PartyForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 28 November 2024UIN 15754

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department is taking steps to help counter disinformation in Moldova.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

As the Foreign Secretary made clear during his visit to Moldova on 20 November, the UK is committed to supporting Moldova's democratic resilience in the face of Russian hybrid aggression. During my visit to Chisinau on 16-17 September, I met President Sandu, Deputy Prime Minister Popsoi and Defence Minister Nosatii to reaffirm the UK's steadfast support. This year alone, the UK is providing £34 million of humanitarian, development and defence support to Moldova, including £6.3 million through the Good Governance Fund to strengthen Moldova's capacity to respond to internal and external threats including information threats.
