Oleg Vyshniakov - Ukraine and Israel. Good news for the development of Ukraine-Israel relations.

Here is the good news for the development of Ukraine-Israel relations: this November in Ukraine a meeting of the Ukrainian-Israeli inter-ministerial commission on trade and economic cooperation will be held.

The question of holding the committee this year was being discussed during my recent meetings with the heads of the Commission: Ze'ev Elkin, the Minister of Immigrant Absorption of Israel and the Minister of Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage and Pavlo Klimkin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

  The relatively recent dialog between Petro Poroshenko and Benjamin Netanyahu, the negotiations on the establishment of the FTA, the interest of Israeli businessmen in Ukraine - all these factors undoubtedly accelerated the appointment of the next Commission meeting. This is a great opportunity for dialogue between the top management of two countries and for the development of a number of steps that will strengthen the relations between our countries.

Concurrently an economic conference involving business leaders and men of influence of both countries will be held.

Economic Conference can become a platform for creating a series of joint Ukrainian-Israeli projects.
