Ukraine, Czechia agree to develop cooperation in energy, industryс

Cooperation in energy saving, industry and investment are the themes for the 7th plenary session of the Ukraine-Czechia intergovernmental commission on economic, industrial and scientific cooperation on Thursday in Kyiv.

"Cooperation in the energy sphere is important for us, especially increasing the effective functioning of the gas transportation system (GTS), as well as cooperation in the energy saving sphere. Nuclear energy is also important, electricity and industry. It is also very important to cooperate in industrial development, because, as you know, this is one of the priorities of state policy for the upcoming years," Vice Prime Minister on European Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze.

The deputy PM said supplying spare parts for cars, repair work and helicopter maintenance were also discussed, as well as creating joint production ventures.

"We decided we're ready to develop cooperation in developing the production of trolley bus cars," she said.

Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Jiri Havlicek said a wide range of topics were discussed in the meeting.

"I am pleased that we talked about economic issues, industry, export development and investments. These are important issues for Ukraine and Czechia," he said.

Havlicek invited Klympush-Tsintsadze to visit Prague next year.
