    On 7 October, the governments of Ukraine and Slovakia held intergovernmental consultations. Following the consultations, four documents were signed in the economic, social and defence sectors. This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

    Thus, the governments of the two countries signed a joint declaration, which sets out four key vectors of cooperation. These include strengthening political dialogue and building good neighbourly relations, as well as supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

    The document also confirms progress in the implementation of three key projects: reconstruction of the interconnector, direct railway connection and modernisation of border infrastructure. According to the Head of Ukrainian Government, an important point of the joint declaration is the development of cooperation in political, economic, energy, defence, recovery, humanitarian, educational, scientific, medical and other spheres.

    The second document signed is the Protocol on readmission, which improves the algorithm for returning citizens of Slovakia and Ukraine to their countries of origin.

    In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the education ministries of Ukraine and Slovakia following the consultations.

    “This is a roadmap for cooperation. It provides for the support of Ukrainian students and teachers in Slovakia, direct cooperation between educational institutions, and cooperation in the field of innovation,” said Denys Shmyhal.

    According to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, a Memorandum of Cooperation has also been signed between the agriculture ministries of the two countries.

    “We look forward to Slovakia’s European integration support in the agricultural cluster. In particular, in bringing our legal framework in line with European standards,” Denys Shmyhal commented on cooperation in this area.
