Former Moldovan PM Reappointed as Special Envoy
Dorin Recean, who was the Prime Minister of Moldova until recently, has been given a new job as a special envoy.
This job doesn't pay him, but it's important because he will help Moldova deal with threats from other countries and make Moldova look better to the rest of the world.
The President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, made this appointment.
She wants Moldova to join the European Union by 2030.
Recean is a big supporter of this idea.
He used to be the Prime Minister, but he chose not to stay in that job after the last election.
Instead, someone else, Alexandru Munteanu, became the new Prime Minister.
Recean will now work to make sure Moldova is safe and stable, especially from things like fake news and other tricks that might come from Russia.
He will also help Moldova get closer to becoming part of the European Union.
Dorin Recean, former Moldovan Prime Minister, appointed as special envoy for development and resilience.
President Maia Sandu made the appointment to coordinate efforts against external threats and improve Moldova's international image.
Recean served as Prime Minister from February 2023 to November 2025 and is a strong advocate for EU membership.
Moldova aims to join the European Union by 2030 and has accused Russia of destabilization campaigns.
Recean declined to remain as Prime Minister, and Alexandru Munteanu was appointed as the new Premier.
