Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has named judicial sector reform, the decentralization of power and fighting corruption as the country's priorities.

Introducing the Strategy 2020 reform program in Kyiv on Thursday, the head of state said that the document contains more than 60 special programs and reforms that need to be implemented simultaneously.

According to him, there are eight priority areas for reform.

"I identified eight priority areas, the changes in which either solve the most pressing problems, or create institutional conditions for other reforms. Our first priorities include anti-corruption reform, the renewal of the government machine and government staff; judicial reform; police reform; decentralization and public administration reform; tax reform; the deregulation and the development of entrepreneurship; and reform of the security and defense sector," he said.

At the same time, Poroshenko said that he would add two more special programs to the list of priority reforms. These are "the energy independence of our country and the further promotion of Ukraine in the world."

The president said that Ukraine, as a positive brand "has already acquired an extremely high capitalization", which should be converted into a powerful flow of foreign investment into the Ukrainian economy.

Poroshenko said that he believed the judicial reform to be the most important one of the above-mentioned.
