Igor Shuvalov’s visit to Ukraine is a proof that the dialogue between the Presidents and the Governments of Ukraine and Russia, continues and is efficient. "An evidence of this is the growth of trade turnover between our countries. Trade turnover growth produces creation of jobs, salaries, and development of enterprises," Sergey Levochkin said. The parties have discussed the agenda of Ukrainian-Russian cooperation in the context of the eighth meeting of the Committee on Economic Cooperation, which is a body of the Ukrainian-Russian Intergovernmental Commission, scheduled for April. Special attention has been dedicated to further expanding economic cooperation, particularly in transport, energy, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries. The status of implementation of the agreements on common integration projects already reached has been analyzed too. Photo by Mikhail Markiv / POOL / UNIAN
