President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with representatives of Italian business – more than 30 leading companies from various sectors of the economy – on the sidelines of the Ambrosetti Forum in Cinobbio.
As reported on the website of the head of the Ukrainian state on Saturday, he thanked Italian entrepreneurs for developing their projects in Ukraine right now. Zelensky noted the companies that provide Ukrainian partners with energy equipment, in particular as humanitarian aid.
The participants of the meeting discussed the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. “The reconstruction of Ukraine should include the introduction of innovative technologies and the latest infrastructure,” Zelensky said.
He noted that Italian business may be interested in cooperation with Ukraine primarily in defense production, mechanical engineering, energy, aerospace, and IT industries.
The Ambrosetti Forum takes place in Cinque Terre, Italy, on September 6-8. Zelenskyy arrived there after the 24th meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine’s Defense, which took place on Friday at the Ramstein air base in Germany.
