Maia Sandu on Tuesday assumed office as president of the Republic of Moldova for a second term, APA reports citing China.org.

The inauguration ceremony was held at the Palace of the Republic in Chisinau.

After the validation of her re-election by the Constitutional Court, Sandu took the oath of office with her hand on the Constitution, vowing to uphold democracy, sovereignty, and the rights of citizens.

She also expressed her gratitude to Moldovans for their resilience and unity, saying, "Moldova is not just a small country with a big heart but also an inspiration to others in uncertain times."

Sandu outlined her policy priorities as European integration, national security, and economic growth, calling for active involvement from all citizens to achieve these goals.

She won the Moldovan presidential elections in 2020 and was re-elected in a runoff in November.
