Ukraine is interested in expanding economic cooperation with Belarus, First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Valeriy Khoroshkovsky said during his meeting with Prime Minister of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich in Minsk on May 25.
"The positive experience of the Ukrainian-Belarusian relations in the economic sphere is a good foundation for expanding cooperation. Increase in turnover, as well as transition to investment cooperation, the creation of joint ventures are the steps that will promote the development of national economies and the strengthening of friendship between our nations," Khoroshkovsky said.
In his opinion, co-operation in transport and agricultural sectors is the most promising.
In addition, the need to balance trade between the two countries is also an important aspect on which the parties should focus their attention, Khoroshkovsky underlined.
