The volume of direct Israeli investments in Ukraine does not meet the potential of the two countries, Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes.
The Ukrainian authorities are expecting the arrival of investors from Israel. The protection of their funds is guaranteed, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said during joint statements with Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog on Tuesday, October 5.
“Ukraine is waiting for Israeli investors, and the government and I personally guarantee the protection of all their investments. In addition, Ukraine is interested in studying and using Israel’s significant experience in the field of innovation,” Zelensky said.
In his opinion, Israeli companies can use the colossal potential of Ukraine as a new technological European hub.
Zelensky believes that today the volume of direct Israeli investments in Ukraine does not meet the potential of the two countries.
“New technologies, innovations, cybersecurity, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, space programs, banking, finance, construction, agriculture are just some promising areas for the development of investment cooperation between Ukraine and Israel,” he listed.
Zelensky added that new opportunities for enhancing bilateral economic interaction are opened by the Free Trade Agreement between Ukraine and Israel, which entered into force at the beginning of January 2021 year.
We will remind, on October 5, the President of Israel Yitzhak Herzog arrived in Ukraine on a state visit. In Kiev, he was met by the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky. The official ceremony took place at the Mariinsky Palace, after which the heads of state met in a narrow circle.
As you know, Yitzhak Herzog will attend events dedicated to 80th anniversary of the Babi Yar tragedy.
