"A rise in trade, which increased by 10% reaching $80 million last year, and stepping up contacts at the level of the commerce and industry chambers were stressed, too. The parties agreed to continue the practice of Ukrainian-Omani business forums, taking into account the success of the latest two such events in Kyiv in 2019, which were attended by dozen Omani businesspeople," it said.
