Germany recognised independence of Moldova on 14 December 1991. Diplomatic relations between Moldova and Germany were established on 30 April 1992. Germany opened its embassy in Chişinău on 2 November 1992 and Moldova opened its own embassy in Bonn on 28 March 1995.[2]
In May 2006, Moldovan president Vladimir Voronin visited Germany and met Angela Merkel.[3] Merkel expressed Germany's interest in the Transnistrian problem's peaceful and quicker settlement with assistance from the European Union. Merkel also said the economic dimension of the bilateral Moldovan-German cooperation had "huge potential".[1] In October 2006, the President of Bundestag Norbert Lammert visited the Republic of Moldova.
On 26 June 2008, the German Parliament passed a motion supported by the majority of MPs that Germany reconfirmed its support for Moldova's European Union bid.[4]
