Belgium is Ukraine’s important trade and investment partner – Shmyhal
He wrote about this on Twitter after a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium Sophie Wilmès in Brussels on February 10, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"I had a great dialogue with Sophie Wilmès on current issues. Belgium is an important trade and investment partner of Ukraine. I believe the economic mission of the BFTA to Ukraine in 2022-2025 would be a powerful impetus for strengthening our relations," Shmyhal said.
On Wednesday, the Prime Minister spoke with the leaders of Ukrainian NGOs in Belgium and Luxembourg via videoconferencing. "Thank you for your hard work to preserve Ukrainian traditions and support Ukraine in the EU," he said.
Shmyhal also held an online meeting with representatives of European companies. "Our dialogue demonstrated a strong interest in Ukrainian markets. Ukraine will pursue a path of critical economic reforms and promote economic partnership with the EU," he noted.
A Ukrainian government delegation headed by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal began a working visit to Brussels on February 9. Shmyhal met with European Council President Charles Michel and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
The program of the visit includes a series of working meetings with representatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament.
On February 11, Shmyhal will take part in the seventh meeting of the EU-Ukraine Association Council in Brussels.
