The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has appointed First Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister of Ukraine Maxim Nefyodov acting Trade Representative of Ukraine. Natalia Mykolska stepped down from the permission in order to participate in Stanford University’s Ukrainian Emerging Leaders Program, in the United States.
“She wrote a letter of resignation and goes on to study… The duties of the trade representative under the order … will be performed by Maxim Nefyodov,” First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economic Development and Trade Stepan Kubiv said at a government meeting on Wednesday last week.
“I have a meeting with Maxim Nefyodov (in order) that there will not be any stops in the projects that have started. Some projects will be managed by First Deputy Prime Minister Stepan Kubiv, since he believes that promotion of exports is one of the highest priorities in his work,” Mykolska told Interfax-Ukraine after the government meeting last week.
According to her, she intends to engage in research and promotion of Ukrainian exports in the Silicon Valley of the United States.
“These are my plans for the next 10 months, and then we will see,” she said.
