On December 8, Ukraine's Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture Oleksii Sobolev met with the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Ukraine, Lubos Vesely. Also participating were Deputy Ministers Andrii Teliupa and Daryna Marchak, and from the foreign side - representatives of the Czech Republic's embassy in Ukraine.
During the meeting, possibilities for attracting Czech investors to Ukraine through financial instruments via an intergovernmental agreement were discussed. A visit by major Czech companies to Dnipropetrovs'k region is also planned, which is supported by Czechia.
The meeting participants considered the possibility of financing restoration projects in Ukraine through the Czech Development Bank, as well as discussing cooperation in the field of industrial recovery. Czech companies are ready to supply equipment for the repair of Ukrainian hydropower plants and thermal power stations.
The next step will be the participation of the Ukrainian delegation in the industrial exhibition (MSV) in Brno, which could lead to contract signing. This technology exhibition for machine engineering in Central Europe is held annually.
Ukraine and Czechia are actively expanding cooperation in the field of investment, especially in energy and industrial recovery. The opportunities for direct financing of projects through the Czech Development Bank are being discussed, and cooperation at the exhibition in Brno may represent a new step towards deepening economic partnership between the countries.
