Ion ȘTEFANOVICI: How Do We Build the Technological Future of the Extended Moldova Region? The CAPDR Delegation’s Visit to China in the Context of the New Global Architecture
100 economic opportunities for the development of the Moldova Region on the A7 Highway route
The Lessons of Major Global Players Are Now Written Not Only in Western Capitals, but Also in Places Like Riyadh or Beijing
These days, the U.S.–Saudi meeting in Riyadh confirmed what has become evident: the global transition from a petroleum-based economy to one driven by new technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics, and space exploration is no longer a prediction. It is an accelerating reality.
Saudi Arabia, the epicenter of global oil, is reinventing its role in the new global economic architecture. The United States continues to play a key role in this repositioning. Meanwhile, China has already become the laboratory for new technologies applied on a global scale.
In this context, the CAPDR delegation is leaving next week on a strategic visit to China, as part of the Southeast Europe–China cooperation framework. This visit aims to strengthen Romania’s position—and particularly that of the Extended Moldova Region—in a world that no longer accepts a spectator role.
MOLDOVA 2030 and FERM thus become tools through which CAPDR commits to bringing the Extended Moldova Region into global dialogues on technology, connectivity, innovation, and transcontinental cooperation.
Our challenge is clear: to transform this region from a peripheral area into an active node in the economic, digital, and industrial networks connecting Europe and Asia.
The lesson of Riyadh, the lesson of Beijing, the lesson of the great technological hubs is the same: time waits for no one. Those who do not learn, do not cooperate, and do not reposition themselves risk being trapped in an outdated economic paradigm.
Through this visit to China, CAPDR opens new doors for Romania, for the Extended Moldova Region, and for all those who understand that the future no longer belongs only to great powers, but also to regions that know how to play smart in the new global architecture.
We choose to be part of the future.
