Ukrainian Foreign Minister: this year Latin America will be our priority

4 January , 2023  

The next strategic document to be adopted by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in 2023 will be the Latin American Strategy, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
“We have heard a signal from the Brazilian side, we will actively work with them. As well as with other countries of this region. And in general this year Latin America will be a priority for us. This is the last region of the world that we haven’t plowed over thoroughly,” Kuleba said during an online briefing on Wednesday.
The Minister explained that the visit of the Ukrainian delegation to Brazil, where the inauguration ceremony of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was held on January 1, demonstrates Ukraine’s interest in resetting the Ukrainian-Brazilian dialogue and giving an additional impetus to the trade and economic relations.
Thus, Kuleba recalled that the MFA already has an “Asian strategy” and “African strategy”, which are being implemented. The next strategic document to be adopted by the Foreign Ministry this year will be the Latin American strategy, the minister stressed.
“You will see a powerful return of Ukraine to the space of South America this year. Stay tuned, President Zelensky is paying a lot of attention to this issue,” he added.
