Ukraine should speed up the development of its transport sector in 2013, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"There is much to be done to accelerate the development of the transport sector to improve the quality and efficiency of passenger and freight traffic in Ukraine in 2013," he said opening the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers in Kyiv on Thursday.

Azarov said that they planned the construction of motorways and high-speed railways and renew fleets with domestically produced vehicles in 2013.

"This task is assigned to Infrastructure Minister [Volodymyr] Kozak," the prime minister said.
