The trade turnover between the countries has increased by 30% this year, deputy chairman of the “Ukrainian Prism” foreign policy council Serhiy Herasymchuk announced during presentation of the research “Ukraine-Moldova: New Challenges and New Opportunities in Bilateral Relations”.
“Ukraine is one of the main trade and economic partners of the Republic of Moldova. Ukraine is among ten largest trading partners of Moldova. According to the data released by Prime Minister of Moldova Pavel Filip as of October, the trade turnover between the countries increased by more than 30% YoY,” Herasymchuk said.
According to him, together with other GUAM partners – Azerbaijan and Georgia – Ukraine and Moldova reached an agreement on establishment of the free trade area between the GUAM member states.
