According to him, Ukraine is in a transitional period, and both public and authorities are learning to think about culture in a new way.

"We are creating new, modern and relevant tools to support the industry. In particular, I am talking about the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation and the Ukrainian Book Institute. We are mainly talking about the synergy of political will, communities, business and culture. This forum is a good opportunity to talk about national initiatives at the international level and share experiences," the minister stressed.
