Parliamentary diplomacy has advanced with the globalization of processes and events, representing an important side complementing international diplomacy. The role of parliamentarians at the diplomatic level is expressed through actions promoting political pluralism, promoting democratic parliamentary standards, contributing to and achieving results in conflict prevention and solving conflicts, promoting human rights, actions realized through political dialogue with counterparts from other countries. In the process of negotiations on the Republic of Moldova's accession to the European Union, parliamentary diplomacy has gained more and more interest, as it is the Members of Parliament who have the necessary leverage to critically influence the dynamics of the negotiations on accession to the European Union.
