Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that ten African states where Ukraine will open new embassies next year have already been determined.
“We are resetting relations with dozens of African countries. Next year we have to strengthen it. Ten states where new Ukrainian embassies in Africa will be opened have already been determined. We have also developed the concept of the Ukraine-Africa Trading House with the opening of its representative offices in the capitals of the continent’s most promising countries,” Zelensky said at the Ukrainian ambassadors’ conference “War and New Horizons in the World” on Friday.
The President stressed that “in addition to the existing representation of Ukraine in ten countries in Africa, together with new embassies and trading houses, it is necessary to achieve representation in thirty countries of the African continent.”
At the same time, the head of state noted that global growth is impossible without relations with other parts of the Global South as well.
“Latin America, India, other Asian countries, including China and Southeast Asia, the entire Indian and Pacific island region. Ukraine must find a format for its leadership in strategic processes in each of these regions, and the role of Ukraine’s diplomatic corps will be decisive,” Zelensky said.
