Ukraine and Romania have agreed to strengthen cooperation on joint infrastructure projects, including the construction of a bridge over the Tysa River. The matter was discussed during a meeting between Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and Romania's Foreign Minister Oana-Silvia Țoiu.
During the meeting, the parties discussed European integration, deepening defense cooperation, the participation of Romanian business in the reconstruction of the Ukrainian economy, as well as the implementation of joint infrastructure projects.
"Ukraine and Romania share a common vision of the future of our region in the European Union. We appreciate Romania's support on this path and are determined to coordinate our efforts even more closely in the process of gaining membership," Svyrydenko noted.
They also discussed opportunities to expand defense cooperation, including joint production. One option for such interaction could be a model similar to the Danish one – it provides for direct financing of the production of military products directly in Ukraine.
"Special attention was paid to the issue of involving Romanian companies in the process of rebuilding Ukraine. Yulia Svyrydenko invited a special envoy for reconstruction to come to Kyiv with a business delegation to develop specific projects," the statement said.
Visit of the Romanian Foreign Minister to Kyiv
Yesterday, August 7, Romanian Foreign Minister Oana-Silvia Țoiu arrived in Kyiv. She held a number of meetings and visited the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital.
Țoiu arrived in Kyiv on the first visit by a Romanian foreign minister since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. It is also her first visit to Ukraine since being appointed to the post.
