Ukraine, the Czech Republic to create working group to attract Czech companies to restoration of Ukraine
DAVOS. Jan 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko and Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic Jozef Síkela agreed to create a working group to attract Czech companies to the restoration of Ukraine at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday.
"We are grateful to the Czech Republic for defense, financial and humanitarian assistance in these dramatic times. The Czech Republic is one of Ukraine’s major European partners, which provides significant political and practical assistance to Ukraine, and is one of the five key arms suppliers to our country," Svyrydenko said.
The parties also discussed the forthcoming meeting of the intergovernmental Ukrainian-Czech commission in March, and also reached agreements on continuing cooperation in the energy sector and integrating electricity markets.
As indicated by the Ministry of Economy, Síkela assured that his country remains a reliable economic and political partner for Ukraine: the Czech Republic will continue its policy aimed at ensuring that the European Union continues refusing Russian oil and gas.
Responding to the needs of Ukraine and in close coordination with NATO allies, the Czech Republic has already transferred about CZK 3 billion (about $130 million) in defense assistance to Ukraine.
