Interest of German business in Ukraine significantly increased – Steinmeier

An interest of German business in cooperation with Ukraine has significantly increased, but the process of economic reforms and the fight against corruption should continue.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said this at a joint briefing with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"The interest of the German economy in Ukraine has significantly increased. More than a thousand German companies operate in Ukraine. Many others are interested in economic opportunities that exist in Ukraine," Steinmeier said.

He added that he as a president would like not only to note this positive dynamics but also to strengthen it.

The German president also stressed that Germany had been always ready to support the process of Ukraine's internal transformation, and noted that "something has been done" in this regard in the past years.
