Ukraine has agreed with United Kingdom to hold investment conference in June - Svyrydenko.

Ukraine and the United Kingdom have reached agreements on trade liberalization and attracting British investment into the Ukrainian economy.

This was announced by First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko following a meeting with British Secretary of State for International Trade Ann-Marie Trevelyan, Censor.NET reports.

"Today, our partnership has reached a fundamentally new level, which will help Ukraine survive and defeat the Russian aggressors," Sviridenko said.

It is planned that in early June, zero customs rates on exports of Ukrainian goods to the UK will take effect, which will allow Ukrainian exporters to increase exports.

"First of all, we are talking about such goods as flour, grain, dairy products, poultry and semi-finished products, honey, corn, sugar. As a result, we will attract additional foreign exchange earnings to the country, which will positively affect macro-financial stability in the country", the head of the Ministry of Economy told.

According to her, last year the trade turnover between the countries increased by 40%, and this year we can expect significant progress even despite the war.
