MOSCOW, (Sputnik) — Ukraine's Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and his French counterpart Manuel Valls have agreed to enhance trade and economic cooperation between the two countries, the press service of the Ukrainian government said Thursday.
"We have a 25% growth in our international trade. But I think that we have vast opportunities for cooperation in the energy sector, the aircraft manufacturing and in the agricultural sector. It is very useful for the economies of both Ukraine and France," Groysman was quoted as saying by the press service.
Groysman added that the work of the mixed Ukrainian-French intergovernmental commission and working groups would be launched in 2017 for the enhancing of bilateral economic ties.
The meeting of the ministers was held within the framework of Groysman’s working visit to France ahead of the Ukrainian-French business forum in Paris scheduled for Friday.
