Zelensky noted that the Ukrainian delegation signed a number of memoranda and contracts worth a total of $3 billion.

According to him, among other things, the agreements on UAE’s food security ensured by Ukraine "because our black soils are known around the world for their harvests", as well as a memorandum with the Mubadala Investment Company, which "should pave the way for large-scale investments in our economy from Western Asia" were reached.

Zelensky assured that the problem of the COVID-19 pandemic was not neglected during the visit and reminded that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine together with the Ministry of Health should establish a joint working group for cooperation and exchange of experience with UAE’s side in matters related to COVID-19 vaccination.

"Relations between Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates have great potential. We are looking forward to the arrival of Emirati investors who will offer new ideas and solutions on the Ukrainian market," Zelensky summed up.
