KYIV. Oct 18 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said that Ukraine is interested in creating a hub for Ukrainian exporters of agricultural products in Malta with access to the North African and Mediterranean markets.
“I am pleased to welcome President of Malta Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca for the first time in Ukraine, for the first time on a state visit in the history of our diplomatic relations. Ukraine and Malta have visibly stepped up cooperation recently, and it was during Malta’s presidency of the EU that the most important decisions were made for us – the introduction of a visa-free regime and the completion of the ratification of the Association Agreement with the EU,” Groysman wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
“There is an interest to create a hub in Malta for Ukrainian agricultural exporters, with subsequent access to the markets of North Africa and the Mediterranean,” he added.
Groysman expressed confidence in fruitful cooperation and “maximum strengthening of mutual trade and investment relations” between the two countries.
