President Petro Poroshenko took part in the ceremony of opening the Fujikura Automotive Ukraine Lviv LLC in the course of the working trip to Lviv region.
The President reminded about his meeting and agreements with CEO of Fujikura Jorge Garcia, which resulted into the opening of a new enterprise in Lviv region. “In the course of the official visit to Japan, I really enjoyed the speech of Fujikura leaders who stated that in any country of the world they did not have so much comfort launching business like in Ukraine, Lviv region,” the President emphasized.
“Let this event be a powerful signal for all potential investors willing to believe in our country,” Petro Poroshenko said and added that 550 new jobs created by the enterprise were only the first stage.
The President recalled his conversation with Japanese investors: “I said that nobody loves native land more than Ukrainians and nobody will defend it better. Look at our workers - you will not find such a highly qualified force capable of fulfilling these investments anywhere else in the world”.
The Head of State recalled the arrangements reached in the course of the official visit to Japan and noted that despite the remoteness of Japan, this country “is one of the biggest and most reliable strategic partners”. Japanese help to Ukraine equals almost USD 1.9 billion.
According to the President, after the signature of the Agreement on Association and DCFTA, “we can fully use a unique productive, economic and human potential of Ukraine in order to ensure the best positions for investors”. The President expects the increase of the volume of foreign direct investment in Ukraine.
The Head of State expressed gratitude to Lviv RSA Head Oleg Syniutka for the efforts aimed at creating conditions “for a powerful investor to stay and increase its investment in Lviv region”.
According to the President, #Japanese_investments in Ukraine are not just the construction of bridges or Bortnychi aeration station as one of the biggest objects of environmental security in Ukraine. “We agreed to use Japanese experience in the management of port infrastructure for the increase of the transit potential of Ukraine. Modern Japanese energy technologies will provide an opportunity to modernize Ukrainian electric energy generating capacities for us to use the Ukrainian coal instead of importing Russian one,” the Head of State noted.
According to the President, in order to increase the volume of investments in Ukraine, we have to improve investment climate, ensure internal stability, peace, return Ukrainian sovereignty to the occupied Donbas, return Crimea and ensure unity of Ukrainians.
The event was also attended by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ukraine Shigeki Sumi.
