Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Anatoly Kinakh underlined his country's enthusiasm for the further development of economic and trade relations with Iran, saying that Kiev has a strategic look at the East.
"There is a serious will in Ukraine to expand cooperation with countries like Iran," Kinakh said in a meeting with an Iranian media delegation in Kiev.
He called on Iranian businessmen and investors to strengthen their presence in the Ukrainian market, and said, "Our tendency towards the East is a strategic one."
Noting that Ukraine exports nearly 60% of its products to the other countries, Kinakh lamented that the volume of trade exchanges between Tehran and Kiev is not proportionate to the two countries’ potentials and capacities, and stressed the need for a further increase in the volume of Iran-Ukraine trade relations.
