UBTA chairman: German-Ukrainian Business Forum promotes close relations between two countries

UBTA Chairman of the Board Dmytro Los said this while commenting on the results of the IV German-Ukrainian Business Forum, which took place in Berlin, the association's press service told Ukrinform.

"For the German-Ukrainian business relations, the Forum is a key event to engage your stakeholders within the government, leading industries and the business community at large. It offers a unique common platform to review progress in bilateral relations, voice your concerns and jointly search solutions, as well as jointly explore new ideas of business collaboration that reflect new challenges and opportunities of the day," Los said.

According to him, the Ukrainian Business and Trade Association, a voice of Ukrainian exporters in Europe and globally, welcomes the results of the Forum and reaffirms its commitment to see to it that the Forum becomes a strong bridge uniting German and Ukrainian business communities, as well as Governments, around a single agenda. "We offer our partnership to other German and Ukrainian business associations to invest in this bridge to our common better future," Los said.

He also stressed that the German-Ukrainian Business Forum serves an important role as a platform to discuss and promote economic relations between Germany and Ukraine. It is aimed at decision-makers from business and politics in Germany and Ukraine.

This year, due to the corona pandemic, the forum took place in a digital format with a live broadcast from the House of German Business in Berlin. The Forum featured German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna, ministers for economy, energy of both countries.
