The language spoken by the people of Arad, Reșita, Mărășești or Iași is the same as that of Chisinau, Bălți or Cahul, claims the state secretary of the Department for Relations with the Republic of Moldova within the Bucharest Government in an interview for the National Newspaper, on Romanian Language Day .

The official emphasized that the Romanian language is what unites the citizens from both banks of the Prut, and Romania’s greatest concern is to offer the people of the Republic of Moldova the security of belonging to a common cultural, spiritual and geographical space, write moldovalive.md.

“We are helping the Republic of Moldova because the Romanian language is spoken here, because the spirituality of our people is the same, because our churches are the same, because all our elites think in a Romanian way, and because in the villages of the Republic of Moldova, where Romanians live, you can smell the scent of the Carpathian villages in the morning.

We are the same, identical, living in two different states. Romania has a historical duty to assume its relationship with the Republic of Moldova in these terms, not others,” declared Secretary of State Adrian Dupu.
