President of Switzerland hopes for tangible results for Ukraine at Reform Conference

President of the Swiss Confederation Ignazio Cassis hopes to achieve tangible practical results for Ukraine's stability and prosperity at the 5th Ukraine Reform Conference in Lugano.

"Together with our Ukrainian partners involved in the reform process, we have decided to limit the number of priorities and hope to achieve tangible practical results," Cassis said in his video address at the online discussion "Reforms for Investment in Ukraine", an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Cassis noted that, together with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, they agreed to focus the Conference on two key areas: stability and prosperity.

"The first area – stability – covers such topics as combating corruption, strengthening local self-government, and promoting reforms for reintegration. The second area – prosperity – includes economic reforms," the President of the Swiss Confederation said.

"I am glad that we, as long-time partners of Ukraine, have the opportunity to support the country on its path of reform," Cassis emphasized.

As reported, the 5th Ukraine Reform Conference will be held in Lugano, Switzerland, on July 4-5, 2022.
