Batkivschyna party leader Yulia Tymoshenko has announced the preparation of a foreign policy concept for Ukraine and spoke in favor of a new approach to cooperation with the G7 countries.

"We will elaborate with you the concept of Ukraine's foreign policy. And now the development of its project will be handled by the committee coordinated by Hryhoriy Nemyria [MP from the Batkivschyna faction, head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Human Rights Hryhoriy Nemyria]. We need a single strategic document that would determine the main directions of foreign policy, its goal, objectives and resources," she said, speaking at the forum New Strategy of Peace and Security in Kyiv on Tuesday.

The leader of Batkivschyna also speaks in favor of a new approach to cooperation with the G7 countries in order to attract foreign direct investment.

"This will be absolutely impossible without convincing results of the fight against corruption and the establishment of the rule of law and independent justice," she added.

Tymoshenko stressed that the future of Ukraine is in the European Union, and security is in the framework of NATO.

The politician also called inadmissible any practices of external administration of Ukraine.

"External control for a sovereign independent European state will not be allowed in any context. And if it exists today, it will be very diplomatically removed, without much ado," said the leader of Batkivschyna.
