Moldova 35th Independence Day and National Army anniversary

Overview

Moldova is marking its 35th anniversary of independence through a series of cultural, historical, and political commemorations. As part of the “Independence that unites us – Moldova-35” programme, the National Library of the Republic of Moldova has opened a thematic exhibition featuring over 200 items, including archival documents and photographs documenting the nation’s transition toward its current European path. Official celebrations in Chișinău and Bălți included military parades. Notably, for the first time in its history, the parade did not include Soviet military equipment. In Chișinău, President Maia Sandu addressed citizens at the Great National Assembly Square, emphasizing the nation's maturity and its path toward European integration. Cultural events, such as the ‘Romanian Traditions at the Nistru’ festival in Criuleni, highlighted cultural partnerships with Romania, featuring folklore ensembles from both nations, including participants from Sibiu County. In Ungheni, ceremonies honored the signatories of the Declaration of Independence, sparking discussions on historical identity and the legacy of totalitarian regimes. As the nation also marks the 35th anniversary of the National Army's founding on September 3, security concerns have intensified. President Sandu characterized recent incursions by at least five Russian drones into Moldovan airspace as an attempt to intimidate the nation. Sandu, who attended the military parade alongside leaders from Ukraine and Romania, vowed to increase investment in defense and regional cooperation. Defense Minister Anatolie Nosatîi and Brigadier General Ion Ojog highlighted the modernization of the force, noting the integration of advanced anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems and the army's participation in three international peacekeeping missions. President Sandu also presented state distinctions to military personnel to recognize their service. High-level diplomacy remains central to the anniversary, highlighted by a trilateral summit in Chișinău between President Sandu, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Romanian President Nicușor Dan.
