Ukraine, Brazil interested in intensifying bilateral dialogue

“The interlocutors confirmed the mutual interest in intensifying the bilateral dialogue, as well as the possible formats of further contacts, during the existing restrictions to counteract the spread of the new coronavirus,” the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports upon a video conference between Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Yevheniy Yenin and Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Brazil, Ambassador Kenneth da Nobrega.

The Ukrainian diplomat thanked the Brazilian colleague for assistance during the repatriation and transit of Ukrainian citizens through the territory of Brazil. The parties agreed to promote the exchange of information on diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.

Yenin stressed that the fight against the pandemic could not be a reason for lifting sanctions against countries-violators of international law.

As noted, Yevheniy Yenin and Kenneth da Nobrega paid special attention to the opportunities of trade and economic cooperation, as well as consideration of the drafts of bilateral agreements.
