Work on a free trade area (FTA) agreement between Ukraine and Vietnam could be finished very quickly, if both sides want this, Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said.

"We're working on a free trade area agreement between Ukraine and Vietnam, which could significantly simplify our mutual trade. I'm sure that we could finish it soon, if both sides want this," he said at the Ukraine-Vietnam Business Forum in Hanoi (Vietnam) on Thursday.
