Trade between Ukraine and the EU has increased by 60% in the past three years, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said during his speech at the panel discussion “Security in Eastern Europe” within the framework of the Munich Security Conference.
The president noted that Ukraine’s external trade with EU countries accounted for 43%.
“Europe for Ukraine is a choice in terms of not only civilization but also economy,” Poroshenko explained.
He added that Ukraine was now in search of new markets, and the Chinese market was not an exception. Poroshenko noted that Ukraine had good cooperation with China, but its growth rates were modest. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
