Ministry of DefenceGovernment

The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Moldova is the central executive body responsible for developing and implementing national defense policy and overseeing the Armed Forces. Its mandate focuses on safeguarding the nation's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and constitutional order while managing military readiness and international peacekeeping commitments. Established on February 5, 1992, following Moldova's independence from the Soviet Union, its early structure was heavily shaped by the outbreak of the Transnistria War that same year.
