The growth trend continues in the current year - for the first quarter of 2018 the bilateral trade amounted to about $2 billion, or 18.7% more than the same period of the last year," First Vice Prime Minister - Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Stepan Kubiv said.

The minister adds that Ukraine's participation in the China International Import Expo-2018, which will be held in Shanghai in November 2018, will facilitate the improvement of bilateral business contacts.
