The European Union and Ukraine have confirmed their commitment to move towards the introduction of visa-free travel.
"The leaders took a positive note of the progress made in the implementation of the Action Plan on visa liberalisation and reconfirmed their shared commitment to move towards a visa-free travel regime in due course, provided that conditions for well managed and secure mobility set out in the Action Plan are in place," reads a joint statement adopted on the results of the Ukraine-EU Summit in Kyiv on Monday.
As an intermediate step towards a visa-free travel regime, Kyiv and Brussels welcomed the conclusion of the talks on amending the visa facilitation agreement in view of the further facilitation of the issuing of visas to Ukrainian citizens.
During the summit, the leaders of the EU and Ukraine had an exchange on international and regional issues of common interest, in particular relations with Belarus and Russia.
"As regards the Republic of Moldova, the leaders noted their convergence of views on the Transdniestria settlement process, in the light of the recent resumption of official negotiations in the ‘5+2’ format," the statement reads.
