Ukrainian Parliament Speaker calls on South Korea to abolish visa requirements for Ukrainians

Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy has called on Speaker and lawmakers of the Parliament of South Korea to introduce a visa-free regime for Ukraine.

“Andriy Parubiy called on the Speaker and lawmakers of the Parliament of South Korea to introduce a visa-free regime with Ukraine, noting that the Korean citizens can visit Ukraine without a visa for twelve years now,” the press office of the Verkhovna Rada reports.

According to Parubiy, there is no threat of illegal migration from Ukraine to Korea as the visa-free regime between Ukraine and the EU has been in force for a year and a half already and no country in the European Union has raised relevant comments.

The Ukrainian Parliament Speaker urged the South Korean business to invest in Ukraine. He called IT and agrarian sectors the most promising economy sectors for Ukraine-South Korea cooperation.

At the end of the meeting, Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy and Speaker of the National Assembly of South Korea, Moon Hee-sang signed a memorandum of understanding between the parliaments.

As reported, Andriy Parubiy makes an official visit to South Korea on December 10-14.
