Ambassador: Increasing number of big Chinese companies willing to work in Ukraine

"There are all prerequisites for even more successful development of China–Ukraine relations. I am optimistic about the prospects of our cooperation with Ukraine. To this end, the Chinese side is ready to continue making efforts together with the Ukrainian side," Ambassador of China to Ukraine Fan Xianrong said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

He stressed that China–Ukraine strategic partnership had developed greatly over ten years.

"This development is reflected in various areas of bilateral cooperation. China, in particular, has become Ukraine's largest trading partner. This, of course, meets the fundamental interests of the peoples of the two countries. The potential of these relations is even greater," Fan Xianrong said.

According to him, a very important agreement was recently signed between the two countries.

"This is an agreement on infrastructure cooperation. It has opened up new opportunities for cooperation between the two countries in this very important area," the Ambassador added.

As reported, Deputy Economy Minister of Ukraine Taras Kachka said that the volume of bilateral trade in agricultural products with China in the first four months of 2021 increased by 33.4% against last year's figures – up to $5.7 billion.
