Thanks, Iceflower. 
I understand Moldova is one of the most backward and under-devoloped parts of Europe. Not least in regards to general healthcare and infra-structure.

Yes, unfortunately Moldova never thrived after the fall of the Soviet Union. It has few natural resources and relies on energy from Russia which has left it highly in debt. The mortality rate is poor and unfortunately tuberculosis is rampid, because of lack of funding.

Moldovians has nothing else to export. The country was/is known for its wines. There were fruit orchards too. I am not sure if they still exist.
Overall, the visit is for appearances' sake.

Article: "Crown Princess Mary is popular in Moldova"
Kronprinsesse Mary er populær i Moldova | BILLED-BLADET
When Mary today visited the vaccine storage in the capital all of the country's leading TV stations were present with reporters and cameramen.
The Crown Princess answered so friendly and smiling to the questions that the local journalists expressed how sweet and down to earth they think the Danish Crown Princess is.
Crown Princess Mary gave an interview after seeing the vaccine warehouse, which mothers and children especially have good use of. With using of a very fast-speaking interpreter was the Moldovan questions translated into English so Crown Princess Mary could answer, and then Mary's answers was translated to local journalists.
