"At the level of our governments - Ukraine and France - we are preparing to hold such an initiative in Paris in the autumn - a forum on the recovery of Ukraine. I invite your companies to participate in this initiative," he said.
He also emphasized the importance of rebuilding Ukraine after the war.
"Peace for Ukraine, guarantees of security, restoration of everything destroyed by the Russian occupiers will be clear proof that the European idea is stronger than any dictatorships, and the values of freedom, equality and mutual aid overcome any terror," Zelensky said.
He assured French businesspersons that Ukraine could provide them with thousands of contracts and thousands of jobs.
"We need your experience and your participation in post-war reconstruction. We have already started - on the free territory of our country. We invite construction companies to take part in infrastructure reconstruction, localization of production of construction materials," Zelensky said.
