A delegation of the French National Assembly has visited Donetsk region, where met with Deputy Chairman of the Regional State Administration Mykhailo Slyvka, the press service of Donetsk Regional State Administration has reported.

According to the regional authorities, the representatives of the foreign delegation during their visit studied the issues related to the implementation of reforms in the country, in particular, the process of power decentralization, as well as the problems of migrants: distribution of humanitarian aid, provision of shelter and medicines, education of children.

During the meeting, Slyvka expressed the view that it is reasonable to conduct the reform on power decentralization in Donbas after hostilities in the region cease.

“The primary challenges the regional administration faces are the employment of internally displaced persons, creation of new jobs, and development of small and medium-sized businesses. This requires the inflow of foreign investment,” he said.
