Ukraine's Finance Ministry seeks to agree the date of a visit of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission to Ukraine in coming weeks, Deputy Finance Minister Artem Shevalev told reporters on the sidelines of a roundtable on developing the national exports strategy.

"We expect that in next coming weeks we will have the concrete date of their arrival and be on the home straight in signing the memorandum," he said.

Shevalev said that at present the more active implementation of the draft memorandum of late 2015 is discussed, taking into account a suspension in cooperation with the IMF due to political crisis in Ukraine.
