Shmyhal invites Swedish companies to implement joint projects in Ukraine

Shmyhal thanked the Swedish side for organizing the International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism, as well as for participating in the inaugural summit of the Crimea Platform in August this year, the Government portal informs.

The Prime Minister of Ukraine praised the support provided by the Government of Sweden for the implementation of decentralization reform and thanked for the assistance rendered through the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority for Ukrainian nuclear power plants.

"Diversification of sources of nuclear fuel supply is one of our priorities in the context of energy security. In addition, Ukraine has fulfilled all the technical conditions to ensure the integration of the unified energy system into the European network ENTSO-E. For us, this will be an important step towards energy independence," Shmyhal said.

The parties also raised the issues of cooperation in the field of waste disposal and recycling. The Head of the Government of Ukraine noted that the experience and advanced technologies of Swedish companies could contribute to the improvement of the recycling system in Ukraine.

Shmyhal also stressed that investment and increased investment activity could be a driver of economic relations between countries.

"We encourage Swedish companies to continue implementing joint projects in Ukraine, in particular taking advantage of the law on so-called investment nannies," the Prime Minister of Ukraine noted.

In addition, Shmyhal emphasized that Ukraine was ready to further develop cooperation in the field of information technology, in particular in terms of digitalization and strengthening cybersecurity.
