stated<\/a> by President Volodymyr Zelensky during a press briefing following the talks with President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan.<\/p>\n\u201cWe have agreed on further expansion of trade, economic and investment cooperation. In 2018, our bilateral trade volume amounted to over $4 billion. And I am sure that this is far from our potential limit,\u201d Zelensky said.<\/p>\n
According to Zelensky, unleashing this potential will be facilitated by the implementation of joint projects and the liberalization of bilateral trade.<\/p>\n
“This will be also facilitated by the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement. I hope that our parties will be able to reach a compromise on this issue as soon as possible and prepare all the necessary documents,\u201d Zelensky said.<\/p>\n
He also noted that the cooperation between the countries was extremely intense and stressed that, by the end of the year, the eighth meeting of the High Level Strategic Council would be held in Kyiv.<\/p>\n
In addition, according to Zelensky, cooperation on the construction of roads, airports, seaports as well as cooperation in defense, energy and tourism was discussed.<\/p>\n
Zelensky expressed confidence that Ukraine will demonstrate economic growth in the coming years.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor this purpose, we will carry out a number of necessary reforms this autumn, which will make Ukraine a magnet for foreign investors. We have already started active work in this area and I am glad to invite Turkish business to Ukraine. I am the guarantor of your comfortable work in Ukraine. Let’s grow together,\u201d Zelensky stressed.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the results of the meeting with Erdo\u011fan, Zelensky emphasized the achievement of mutual understanding and foundation for fruitful dialogue in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe generous Turkish land has repeatedly given us, Ukrainians, great victories. In Turkey, our singer Ruslana won the Eurovision Song Contest. In Turkey, Shakhtar Donetsk won the UEFA Cup. I believe that in the future, our countries will have a lot of great joint victories,\u201d Zelensky said and invited his Turkish colleague to visit Ukraine.<\/p>\n
In turn, Erdo\u011fan noted that the parties had discussed all aspects of current Ukrainian and Turkish relations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have revised the steps we need to take to develop trade and economic cooperation. Finally, the time has come to finalize the negotiation process for the Free Trade Agreement, which has been under negotiation for many years,\u201d Erdo\u011fan\u00a0said.<\/p>\n
Erdo\u011fan also\u00a0said that trade turnover between Ukraine and Turkey could reach $10 billion and that the achievement of this goal is quite realistic<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have agreed with Mr. Zelensky to accelerate the activities aimed at investing in infrastructure and construction. We also exchanged views on the ways we can increase investments, on the common steps that can be taken to boost the economic development of our relationship,\u201d Erdo\u011fan said, noting that another topic of negotiations was cooperation in the security field.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we will take all the necessary steps shortly to implement all these plans,\u201d Erdo\u011fan concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
