Kuleba invites Portuguese business to participate in large-scale privatization in Ukraine

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has invited representatives of the Portuguese business to participate in the process of privatization in Ukraine.

The minister stated this in his speech at the Economic Forum, which was attended by representatives of the Portuguese business and Secretary of State for Commerce, Services and Consumer Protection at the Portuguese Ministry of Economy and Digital Transition João Torres in Lisbon, an Ukrinform correspondent reported, referring to the Foreign Ministry’s press service.

In particular, he told about economic reforms and three key opportunities that Ukraine can provide to Portuguese business and investors. The first of them is a large-scale privatization, he said.

"I invite you to take part in a large-scale privatization in Ukraine," Kuleba said.

According to the minister, the second opportunity is digitalization.

Kuleba noted Portugal's efforts in this area and told about Ukraine's current experience and leadership in the development of the digital state.

“Ukraine today means thousands of experienced engineers and IT professionals and quality products, including the Diya platform. It can be interesting for Portugal and opportunities in general for digital cooperation are huge," Kuleba said.

The third opportunity, according to the foreign minister, is the aerospace industry, in view of the growing interest in space, and Ukraine's technologies.

Kuleba added that Ukraine and Portugal have great potential not only in bilateral trade, but also in successful joint entry into third country markets.

As Ukrinform reported, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba paid a working visit to Portugal on September 9.
