Ukraine and USA resume their talks at Trade and Investment Council

The first session of the Ukrainian-American Council on Trade and Investment will be held in May for the first time in the past three years.

Ukrainian Minister of Economic Development and Trade Aivaras Abromavicius said this in his comments to an Ukrinform correspondent.

According to him, the agreement was reached during the visit of the Ukrainian delegation to Washington, USA, to participate in the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group.

"We have agreed with the U.S. Trade Representative Office to hold a meeting of the Ukrainian-American Council on Trade and Investment which operation was constantly postponed for the past three years," the minister said.

He informed that the meeting will be held on May 28-29 in Kyiv. It is expected that participants will consider the prospects for improving Ukraine's investment climate during a gradual stabilization of the country's economy and the crisis in its eastern regions. The session of the Council will be the fifth since the establishment of this mechanism.
