Morawiecki's visit to Ukraine will help develop cooperation with Poland – ambassador

Ukraine's Ambassador to Poland Andriy Deshchytsia said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

“As for trade and economic relations, within the framework of Ukrainian-Polish cooperation, trade is constantly growing. In 2019, it amounted to about USD 7 billion, which is over 10% more than in 2018. However, we lack the growth of Polish investment in Ukraine. There is scope for action in the near future. To a certain extent, this is directly related to the growing dynamics of contacts at the government level. We hope that Polish investments in Ukraine will increase in 2020, and the visit of the Polish prime minister to Ukraine will contribute to the interest of Polish business in Ukraine," Deshchytsia said.

According to the ambassador, there is an order of visits of heads of government, and the last was the visit of ex-Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman to the Economic Forum in Krynica in 2016.

“After that, there were no visits of Polish prime ministers to Ukraine. The situation needs to be corrected,” the Ukrainian diplomat stressed.

Deshchytsia expressed hope that a meeting of the Ukrainian-Polish intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation, which, as a rule, precedes the meeting of prime ministers, would take place soon.
