Pavlo Rozenko met with Geoffrey R. Pyatt

Social Policy Minister Pavlo Rozenko held a meeting with U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey R. Pyatt.

The Minister and the Ambassador discussed a number of issues, including the problems of internally displaced persons, social aspects of reform in the energy sector, deepening cooperation in combating human trafficking and a need to ratify the Hague Adoption Convention.

Geoffrey R. Pyatt has stressed that all these issues are a high priority in discussions with the Government of the United States. "We understand very well the burden that rests on your shoulders and on the shoulders of the entire Ministry. Today, the Ministry of Social Policy is perhaps the most important, because it is dealing with the problems of ordinary people," the Ambassador noted.

Pavlo Rozenko, in turn, thanked for the assistance provided by the U.S. Government for Ukraine, both in terms of economic development and in terms of carrying out reform. "I hope that the next plenary week the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will support a reform parcel proposed by the Government, including a bill on the abolition of taxes on international aid," the Minister highlighted.
