For this purpose the Republic of Moldova will use political and legal base, including the relevant institutional mechanisms created at the previous stages of implementation of IPAP.

Opening of Bureau of communication of NATO (NLO) in the Republic of Moldova will give new opportunities for expansion of dialogue and practical cooperation in the course of implementation of reforms in the sector of safety and defense, projects of the help and actions of public diplomacy. The Republic of Moldova will take measures for development of practical cooperation with Bureau of communication of NATO in the areas which are of interest.

At the same time, the Republic of Moldova will use the opportunities offered by the Initiative of strengthening of the defense potential (DCBI) and the Platform of interoperability (IP).

In the course of IPAP implementation the Republic of Moldova will cooperate with the EU and other international organizations for ensuring compatibility of IPAP with the Agreement on association between the Republic of Moldova – the EU and the National development strategy.
