The diplomat added that Danish investments are present in Ukraine, but very big ones.
“We are a small country and we have few resources, so we learned from our own experience how important trade is,” he added.
In turn, the Ukrainian minister said that there are more than 80 Danish companies in the country.
“There are more than 80 Danish companies in Ukraine, if I am not mistaken, I would like there were 800 of them,” Klimkin said.
