Moldova launches process to withdraw from CIS

Chisinau, Jan 20 (Prensa Latina) Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popsoi informed on Tuesday that his country has begun the necessary procedures for its complete withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The head of Moldovan diplomacy stated that the Ministry is currently drafting the denunciation of the agreements that are the legal basis of the organization, in particular the CIS Agreement and its protocol, as well as the CIS statute.

The minister explained that once the new parliamentary session begins, the denunciation documents will be submitted to the legislature.

The diplomat noted, “We will probably conclude the procedures at the governmental level by mid-February.

After that, Parliament will make the decision.”

Popsoi underscored that if Parliament approves the withdrawal of the three constituent agreements and President Maia Sandu ratifies them after the completion of the technical stages, Moldova will cease to be a member of the CIS.

The Moldovan government approved in November 2025 the withdrawal of seven agreements signed within the CIS.
