Moldovan Parliament observes minute of silence for September 11 victims
The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova held a minute of silence at the start of its session to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.
Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu led the commemoration, noting that the tragedy serves as a reminder of the fragility of peace. He emphasized that security and peace must be defended daily, particularly in light of the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine near Moldova's borders.
In Chișinău, the U.S. Embassy in Moldova organized a commemorative exhibition featuring approximately 30 historical photographs and materials related to the tragedy, including images of rescue operations and the attack on the Pentagon. The exhibition is scheduled to be available for viewing through September 15, with plans to move it to various public locations in the city in the following weeks.
