Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has met in Strasbourg with PACE President Anne Brasseur and Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland and thanked them for their support.

As the president's press service reported on Thursday, Poroshenko said he believes that his first visit to Europe and to PACE as a president would be an impetus for the further development of Ukraine.

"I'm sure that we'll receive a new impetus for reforms, a new illustration of the Europeanness of Ukraine," the president said.

The meeting took place at the PACE premises. Poroshenko also was hailed by the representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora, who sang the Ukrainian national anthem to symbolize their support.
