Ukraine is interested in cooperation with Slovakia on border control and labor migration - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Ukraine is interested in deepening cooperation with Slovakia on joint control over the state border and in the area of labor migration, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"We expect our Slovak partners to accelerate preparations for the signing of important bilateral agreements: on joint control at the Ukrainian-Slovak border and on the restoration of the full-fledged functioning of the Uzhhorod airport," the Head of State noted after the meeting with President of Slovakia Zuzana Čaputová in Kyiv.

The parties also discussed an important topic of preparation of the bilateral Agreement on employment and cooperation in the field of labor migration, as stated by the President of Ukraine.

“I have very good impressions of today's talks with Madam President. Madam President has a European vision for the future, believes in the values of liberal democracy and is well aware that security and peace in Ukraine are security and peace in Europe,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.

For her part, the President of Slovakia noted that Ukraine had made great progress in recent years. “Mr. President informed me of his plans, and I am very pleased that his priorities include strengthening the rule of law and fighting corruption. We know from our experience that this is a long path,” Zuzana Čaputová said.

She also said that she had invited the President of Ukraine to make an official visit to Slovakia.
