“During a meeting I’ve invited Crown Prince to visit Ukraine. He said that he’ll do with pleasure when a decision is made under a procedure existing in Japan,” Lytvyn told reporters on March 9 after a meeting with Crown Prince Naruhito.

The speaker said that a problem that unites Ukraine and Japan – the issue of Chornobyl and Fukushima – and cooperation in the area were discussed at the meeting.

Lytvyn said that another issue for discussion was the issue of how Ukraine ensures safe conditions for living. In addition, Crown Prince was interested in provision of high-quality water in Ukraine.

“It was very interesting for Crown Prince as he manages UN water quality issues,” Lytvyn said.

The sides also discussed internal issues in Ukraine.
