In Warsaw, as part of his participation in memorial events marking the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda. The meeting took place on the second day of the official visit of the Head of State to Poland.
The Heads of State praised the economic and investment cooperation between the two countries and emphasized the importance of deepening cooperation in these fields.
The parties discussed Ukraine’s movement to the European Union. Volodymyr Zelenskyy assured that the leadership of the state would continue reforms in the framework of European integration.
“We have chosen this course and will continue to make reforms. We will do them not for the EU, but for ourselves. However, they are in line with the EU's vision,” the President of Ukraine said.
During the meeting, the parties also discussed the intensification of cooperation in the field of alternative energy.
The Lithuanian side reaffirmed the preparations for holding the International Conference for Reforms in Ukraine in 2020 in Lithuania.
The participants of the meeting also discussed the issues of peaceful settlement of the conflict in Donbas, in particular within the Normandy format.
The Lithuanian President invited Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Vilnius. The President of Ukraine, in turn, urged Lithuanians to attend the investment forum in Mariupol this fall and join the reconstruction of the Donbas infrastructure.
