Singapore, March 29 (Interfax-Ukraine) - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has called on Singaporean businessmen to participate in the implementation of national projects in Ukraine, including the construction of a sea terminal to receive liquefied natural gas.
"Our projects – ‘Affordable Housing,’ ‘A Clean City,’ ‘High-Quality Water,’ ‘New Life,’ and ‘A City of the Future’ – are the desire to realize in Ukraine the standards that you’ve managed to achieve," he said at a Singaporean-Ukrainian business forum in Singapore on March 29.
Yanukovych said that Ukrainian experts were currently studying the experience of Asian countries regarding the construction of sea terminals to receive liquefied natural gas, including the developments of Singaporean companies.
