Trade turnover between Ukraine and Armenia this year has grown 5%
and at the end of seven months reached 117.1 million USD, the
Information-Analytical Bulletin of the Cabinet of Ministers of
Ukraine informs.
"Our country is steadily implementing the course of European
integration. At the same time we continue to develop relations with
our strategic partners, one of which is Armenia. Trade turnover between
our countries grew by 5%, and in the seven months of this year reached
117.1 million USD. A promising direction is to deepen cooperation
in the industrial sector, nuclear energy, agriculture, transport and
communications," said Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Vilkul.
Experts say Armenia plans to build a new nuclear power plant. The
participation of Ukrainian companies in production of equipment for
the nuclear power plant and directly in the construction project
looks very appropriate and promising.
To date, the domestic machine building industry has a significant
capacity for production and delivery of the major equipment for
construction and operation of nuclear power plants, other than reactor
facility components.
At the same time, government analysts note the dynamic development
of bilateral cooperation in the field of transport, especially rail
transportation. As of October 2013, the volume of railway traffic
between the two countries amounted to 127,630 tons, which is up
63.9% year-on-year. In road transport, the number of permits for the
transportation of goods in 2013 was 2,600 on each side, which fully
meets the demands of Ukrainian and Armenian haulers. However, of
strategic importance is the intensification of regular flights between
the countries. To date, only 3 Ukrainian airlines have permits flights.
The Ukrainian side is also interested in development of bilateral
trade in agriculture, potentially, in a supply to Armenia of domestic
dairy and poultry products.
The parties are also convinced of the importance of deepening
cooperation in science and technology. This will allow to perform joint
research projects and contribute to the establishment of partnerships
between scientific communities.
