President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at a meeting on accelerating export growth and attracting investment to Ukraine as a guarantee of economic stability, which was initiated by Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

Kuleba said that it is close cooperation with Ukrainian exporters and foreign investors will help Ukrainian diplomats focus their efforts abroad on expanding the necessary opportunities and overcoming existing obstacles.

“Now is the best time to implement Ukraine’s economic ambitions. To this end, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is launching a qualitatively updated block of trade and investment diplomacy. We will focus on two priorities: supporting Ukrainian exports worldwide and attracting investment to Ukraine. The efforts of Ukrainian diplomats to overcome the economic consequences of the pandemic should become a success story of Ukraine and all Ukrainians. The contribution to strengthening Ukraine’s economic security will be one of the indicators of the effectiveness of diplomats’ work,” the Foreign Minister said.

In turn, the president emphasized that Ukrainian business should have export opportunities.

“I want not only large entrepreneurs to enter the international market, but also that small and medium businesses, for example, a farmer with high-quality products or an entrepreneur with unique production, to get such an opportunity. For them to start exporting and grow into big businesses, to have such motivation,” Zelensky added.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President Yulia Kovaliv and Secretary of the National Investment Council Levan Varshalomidze presented ready-made projects for foreign investment, which are at the final stage of approval.

“National security, financial independence, new jobs and innovations are the main areas where we need to attract investment,” National Investment Council Secretary said.

Kovaliv also introduced a draft law on the so-called investment nannies, which needed to be further developed in view of the situation with the coronavirus pandemic in the world.
