Trade between Ukraine and Turkey amounted to $2.27 billion in the first half of 2020, which is 1.7% more than in the same period last year. Ukraine is interested in increasing exports of finished products
KYIV, OCT 2020 - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has
said he hopes that the free trade agreement (FTA) between Ukraine and Turkey
will be signed in the near future, as negotiations on the document are almost
complete.
The head of state stated this in an interview with Turkey's
Demirören news agency.
"Negotiations on such agreements can be simple only
with countries whose market means nothing. Turkey and Ukraine are completely
different. Our common economic potential is huge. It means there are a lot of
nuances that need to be agreed upon, and it takes time. However, we are already
at the finish line. I hope the agreement will be signed in the shortest
time," Zelensky said.
He noted that in three years Turkey and its friends will
mark the centenary of the establishment of the Republic, and the
"Ukrainian side would like to have much greater baggage of economic
contacts."
"The swift signing of the free trade agreement will
significantly help us achieve this goal," Zelensky said.
