Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has discussed the benefits of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement with a delegation of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Dutch House of Representatives.

The parties exchanged views on the benefits of the Association agreement for the Dutch and the EU citizens in the context of the European values and opportunities to expand economic cooperation, the press service of Ukraine's Foreign Ministry reported on Monday.

During the meeting, Klimkin also touched upon the issue of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. He noted that it was grounded in Kremlin's strive to stop Ukraine's European integration at all cost.

As reported, the Dutch parliament has completed the ratification of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement in July last year. The Netherlands will hold the advisory referendum on the agreement on April 6.
