A successful fight against corruption will help attract foreign investment in Ukraine, Foreign Minister of Denmark has said.
“Of course, in order to facilitate trade, it is necessary, in particular, to successfully combat corruption, so we very much hope that a specialized anti-corruption court will appear in Ukraine and if the fight against corruption is successful, it will help attract foreign investment in Ukraine,” he said at a joint news conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin in Kyiv on Wednesday.
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.
