Today, Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Oleh Nemchinov held a videoconference meeting with Kostas Fragoyiannis, Deputy Minister for Economic Diplomacy and Openness at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Hellenic Republic.
Oleh Nemchinov started the videoconference by thanking Greece for the support and assistance provided to Ukraine and our citizens since the first days of the full-scale invasion.
“Today, our countries face a number of challenges. But I strongly believe that the key to their successful overcoming is our interaction and cooperation. I would like to note that we stand ready to further develop mutually beneficial relations with the Hellenic Republic, which is an important partner of Ukraine in Europe.
15 January 2024 will mark the 32nd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Ukraine and Greece. A landmark event this year was the meeting of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy with President of Greece Katerina Sakellaropoulou and Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis on 21 August 2023,” said Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Oleh Nemchynov.
It should be noted that in 2022, the volume of trade in goods and services between Ukraine and Greece totalled USD 954.8 million (an increase of 24.3%). For 9 months of 2023, the trade turnover between Ukraine and Greece totalled USD 1025.7 million (an increase of 59.4%).
The Government of Ukraine is committed to further developing and rationally using the opportunities offered by the transformation of our economy and further integration into the European Union. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to resume the activities of the Intergovernmental Joint Ukrainian-Greek Working Group on Economic, Industrial, Technical and Scientific Cooperation. This is a critical tool for deepening long-term mutually beneficial cooperation between Ukraine and Greece.
At the end of the video conference, the parties agreed to hold the next meeting of the Working Group in February 2024. The parties also approved the need to strengthen cooperation in the areas of investment attraction and the tourism industry. Particular attention will be paid to the rehabilitation of the Ukrainian military, using the tourism opportunities of Greece.
In addition, it is planned to implement potential investment projects to rebuild, restore, reconstruct the damaged and destroyed tourist infrastructure of Ukraine, as well as create new tourist infrastructure facilities in Ukraine and the Hellenic Republic, especially in the areas inhabited by ethnic Greeks in Ukraine.
