Topping the agenda is a visit by President Viktor Yanukovych which is expected to take place early next year. This will be the maiden visit of a Ukrainian president to Malaysia. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was the last Malaysian Prime Minister to visit Ukraine in 2003.

The republic's Ambassador to Malaysia Ihor Humennyi says President Yanukovych will be accompanied by a business entourage.
