The U.S.-Ukraine Strategic Partnership Commission will meet in the first half of November after a long break, Deputy Head of the President's Office Andrii Sybiha has told Ukrinform.

Sybiha visited New York on October 27-28.

"The commission will meet in the first half of November. We are currently in the active phase of working out the content of this meeting where the key issue, of course, will be the adoption of an updated Charter on Strategic Partnership," he said.

According to him, the parties are currently coordinating their positions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had been on a several-day working visit to the United States since August 31. On September 1, he held talks with U.S. President Joe Biden.

Both leaders agreed to intensify the work of the Strategic Partnership Commission, which is to meet this fall in Washington.

On September 9, the Ukrainian part of the Strategic Partnership Commission identified three tasks for its further work, including reform of the Commission, providing the U.S. side with a Ukrainian draft of the Charter on Strategic Partnership, and preparing a plan for the country's transformation.
