Within the next three months, Ukraine and Canada are going to complete negotiations on the establishment of a free trade zone between the two countries, UNIAN says referring to the Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk report.
«We have agreed with the Prime Minister of Canada that were holding talks on a free trade zone with Canada. I hope the talks should be completed in the next three months. I do not want to run ahead, but we are now in a good phase of the negotiations. This is mutual investment from Canada in Ukraine and Ukrainian goods access to the Canadian market,» Yatsenyuk admitted after a meeting with his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper in Kyiv on last week Sat.
As to an earlier report, the Ukrainian government had approved an action plan in Dec 2014, under which Ukraine plans to conclude agreements on a free trade zone with Canada, Turkey, Israel, African countries and a number of the Balkan states.
