This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

The interlocutors praised the sustainable growth rate of trade turnover, which in 2020 reached a record level in the history of bilateral relations – USD 139 million.

Food security of Qatar was also discussed during the consultations.

"Ukraine is ready to help ensure food security in Qatar and expand supplies of high-quality agricultural products and food to the Qatari market," Senik said.

The Ukrainian diplomat thanked Qatar's partners for providing humanitarian medical assistance to Ukraine to counter the spread of COVID-19 in 2020.
