Ukraine will officially lead the European Union’s strategy for the Danube region for 2022 on Wednesday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said.
“Today, Ukraine will officially lead the EU strategy for the Danube region for next year. In Bratislava, a ceremony will take place for the transfer of chairmanship from Slovakia to Ukraine, which will be represented by a delegation led by Deputy Minister of Community and Territorial Development, National Coordinator of the Danube Strategy Ihor Korkhov,” said Kuleba at an online briefing on Wednesday.
He stressed that Ukraine will become the first state, which, not being an EU member, will coordinate the activities of 14 countries of the Danube River Basin and the implementation of EU strategic initiatives in the region.
“Ukraine will take part in the formation of the EU regional policy at the level of the EU member states. Together with Ukraine’s chairmanship in the Danube Commission, this testifies to the establishment of our state as a European player in Central Europe,” the Foreign Minister said.
The minister added that an important and responsible mission of Ukraine will begin on Wednesday, October 27, and will last until the end of 2022. “The foreign policy strategy of Ukraine approves our state as an active participant in international politics.
