Ukraine and the United States of America have signed a Memorandum confirming constructive joint work on the Agreement on Economic Partnership and reaffirming their intention to finalise and conclude the Agreement, which will be beneficial to both nations. The Agreement will provide for the establishment of the fund for investment in the reconstruction of Ukraine.
The Memorandum states that the Agreement will open up opportunities for significant investment, infrastructure modernisation and mutually beneficial partnership between Ukraine and the United States.
In addition, it reaffirms the commitment of the American people to invest with the Ukrainian people in a free, sovereign and secure Ukraine.
