Canada promises to contribute to economic growth of Ukraine

The Free Trade Agreement between Canada and Ukraine will allow Ukraine develop and improve the welfare of its citizens.

Minister of International Trade of Canada Chrystia Freeland said this during a speech at the Congress of Ukrainian Canadians in Regina, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Canada is determined to support the Ukrainian people in their attempts to build more secure, stable and prosperous Ukraine. Our new free trade agreement will help to improve the economic growth and create jobs for Ukrainians and for Canadians, particularly middle-class members and those who want to join them," Freeland said.

"Both Canada and Ukraine are set to ratify and implement the agreement in due time for Canadians and Ukrainians to receive benefit from it as soon as possible," reads a statement.
