KYIV. June 24 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian Premier Arseniy Yatseniuk has ordered for trade agencies to be set up in the countries which account for most of Ukraine’s international trade: United States, European Union (Brussels), Germany, France, China and in the Middle East.
“Don’t get scattered. But by the end of this year this [the opening of the agencies] should be promptly done,” he said during the extended board meeting of the Economic Development and Trade Ministry.
Yatseniuk praised the work of the trade representative of Ukraine – deputy minister Natalia Mykolska, who was commissioned with organizing the work of the prospective trade agencies.
Yatseniuk stressed that Ukraine needs a quality system to promote its economic interests abroad.
“The government should be an economic lawyer of the Ukrainian business abroad. Any international trip or [the trip] of the member of the Cabinet of Ministers must be met by a definite economic proposal,” he said.
