UCCI launches cooperation with Sudan - embassy

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine (UCCI) launches cooperation with Sudan in the fields of agriculture, energy, transport and infrastructure.

Ukrinform reports this with a reference to the Embassy of Ukraine to the Arab Republic of Egypt.

On September 1, 2021, at the invitation of UCCI, Ambassador of Ukraine to Egypt Yevhen Mykytenko and Counsellor Ruslan Nechai took part in a zoom-conference between UCCI and the Sudanese Businessmen Federation.

“The withdrawal of the Republic of the Sudan from the list of countries supporting terrorism, and, accordingly, the removal of trade restrictions, led to a revival of activity between representatives of the business communities of Ukraine and the Sudan. In particular, during January-July 2021, the total trade turnover in goods and services between our countries amounted to USD 52.2 million,” reads the report.

It is noted that potential areas for attracting Ukrainian enterprises are agriculture, energy, transport and infrastructure, oil and gas production, gold mining.

As part of the event, a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine and the Sudanese Businessmen Federation was signed.
