Culture Ministry intends to cooperate with Japanese agency JICA in restoring Ukraine's cultural infrastructure

The Japan International Cooperation Agency JICA and the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine intend to cooperate in restoring the cultural infrastructure.
"We are working to bring the storage facilities for cultural values in museums into compliance with technical requirements. We also need to create a specialized depository, in particular, develop project documentation and financial support for technical re-equipment. In addition, another global project is the renovation of the National Restoration Center. This institute is working at its maximum capacity, but in a rented, unsuitable space. We have already found a space for relocation. Now we will need re-equipment and advanced training of employees," the press service of the department quotes Acting Minister Rostyslav Karandeyev following a meeting with the team of the Japan International Cooperation Agency JICA.
He also noted information challenges, stated that Ukraine is actively strengthening its work with frontline territories that are most susceptible to the influence of enemy propaganda, and emphasized its interest in cooperation in providing information support to these regions.
"Our team is engaged in the restoration of Ukraine. We provide assistance aimed at meeting emergency needs, but we are also interested in cooperation in the cultural sphere, because we understand its possibilities," Naomichi Murooka, Deputy Director General, Urban and Regional Development Group, Infrastructure Management Department of JICA, said at the meeting.
