Bucharest: Biden Says United States Backs EU Ties For Moldova

BUCHAREST, Romania - The United States on Thursday threw its weight behind Moldova's aspirations to boost ties with the European Union, following an election that last month handed power to a western-leaning government in Chisinau.

In Bucharest during a trip to central and eastern Europe, Vice President Joe Biden said more cooperation on economic development was needed with Moldova, Europe's poorest nation.

"We share a desire that Romania's neighbors including Moldova will continue along the path for democracy and ... that they will be integrated into European institutions when they are ready," Biden told reporters in a joint statement with Romanian president Traian Basescu.

"That's why we have to sustain this bid to stabilize economically Moldova."
