Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has adopted a resolution to open a new border crossing point between Ukraine and Romania, according to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
As he noted, one of the key priorities of the Cabinet of Ministers today is Ukraine's economy, including the growth of:
- logistics;
- export potential;
- business support programs.
"Today, Ukraine and Romania are building an extremely beneficial partnership, and we aim to continuously deepen it. We are adopting a resolution that will allow for the opening of a new Ukrainian-Romanian border crossing point, Bila Tserkva-Sighetu Marmaţiei," said the Prime Minister.
He also added that on the Western side, Ukraine plans to establish 9 new border crossing points and modernize another 13.
"All this will provide more opportunities for Ukrainian exports and accelerate our sectoral integration into the European Union," noted Shmyhal.
