The joint UAE-Ukraine Coordination Committee has held its first remote meetings this week to discuss plans aimed to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

The meeting came following the first visit of Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, to the UAE.

"The Ukrainian President's visit to the UAE resulted in setting up a clear strategy to enhance the strong strategic relations between the two countries, which would contribute to opening doors for exploring new cooperation prospects," said Mariam Bint Mohamed Almheiri, Minister of State for Food and Water.

"The visit also paved the way to form the Joint UAE-Ukraine Coordination Committee, which sets goals and timelines to take our strategic partnership to a new level," she added, state news agency WAM reported.

Almeheiri further revealed that joint work will take place over the coming period for the two sides to explore initiatives to increase trade volume and improve both country's economies on the basis of investment and joint interests.

"I am honored to chair the work of the committee and to cooperate with my fellow ministers and the Ukrainian delegation, to boost the strategic partnership between our two countries," Almeheiri stressed.
