Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has called on the ambassadors of the G7 member countries and European Union representatives to join Ukraine's efforts to fight against corruption, reform the tax and customs agencies, participate in decentralization and administrative reform.

Solidarity of Ukraine, G7 and EU countries should focus on certain projects whose results “will be a tangible example of successful cooperation both for Ukrainian society and the entire community of the free world,” Yatsenyuk said at a meeting with the ambassadors, the Cabinet’s press service reported.

“We invite partners to result-oriented interaction in the fight against corruption, the reform of the tax and customs agencies, decentralization, administrative reform, the upbringing of the next generation of government officials in Ukraine. The currently seen results encourage that such cooperation will be significantly increased,” he said.

The ambassadors in turn noted progress in the implementation of the Ukrainian government’s reform program. They also touched on issues that require constant and close cooperation in the framework of the parliamentary coalition – from joint efforts to fight against corruption to the formation of the national budget for 2016.
