Ukraine interested in cooperation with Norway in energy security area- Klitschko

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko as part of a meeting with Foreign Minister of Norway Borge Brende at the Munich Security Conference has said that Ukraine is interested in cooperation with Norway in the energy security area and in participation of Norwegian companies in construction of terminals in Ukraine and supplies of gas to them, the press service of Klitschko has reported.

"In the future Norway could become the largest gas supplier to Ukraine and a dialog at the political level should be started. As for the economic area and investment, today we speak about the possibility of participation of Norwegian companies in construction of terminals in Ukraine and supplies of gas to them," Klitschko said.

He also said that assistance in training of military servicemen, including naval forces, is important for Ukraine.

"Today Ukraine needs skilled staff, in particular, in Naval Forces, and the help of Norway in training of the staff would be useful for us. It would be interesting if Ukrainian staff is trained on the basis of Marinejegerkommandoen (MJK)," the mayor said.

Military cooperation was discussed at a meeting of Klitschko with Chief of Staff at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe Werner Freers. Klitschko said that tighter cooperation between the NATO Headquarters and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is required.

Klitschko at the meeting with Freers asked for the assistance from the U.S. to organize psychological adjustment of servicemen who return from the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) zone.
