Day of the National Army of the Republic of Moldova (Ziua Armatei Nationale)

In the life of every state, the army is important, as it is the guarantor of the integrity and security of the country. Every year the Republic of Moldova celebrates a professional holiday, when all those who have chosen it as their duty to protect the citizens of their country are accepted. September 3 was chosen as the solemn date for the celebrations dedicated to the National Army of the Republic of Moldova. After the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991, the Republic of Moldova declared its own independence. Soon after this, President Mircea Snegur signed a decree on the formation of an internal army. Three years after this event, namely in 1994, the Constitution was adopted at the state level. In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, the duties of the Moldovan Internal Army are to ensure the security of the country and protect the interests of citizens. The Moldovan troops were finally formed in 1997. Today, the Moldovan army consists of:• Air Force;• Danube Forces;• Ground Forces. The National Army of Moldova today is a modern structure that cooperates with other organizations at the international level. In particular, the army of the Republic of Moldova actively cooperates with the OSCE, NATO, the UN, the Organization of the Black Sea Cooperation, etc. One of the allied states of the republic, between which bilateral partnerships have developed, is the Russian Federation. Over the years of mutual relations, the military departments of both countries have signed more than 20 friendly agreements. For the citizens themselves, the Day of the National Army of Moldova is one of those holidays that is usually celebrated not only in a narrow professional circle. On this day, the people of Moldova express gratitude to the country's former and present military personnel for their selfless work and service to the Motherland. On this day, the military receives congratulations from the leadership; thematic concerts and other events dedicated to this holiday are held throughout the country.
