Pavlo Sultansky, Ambassador of Ukraine in Singapore called on Ellen Lee Geck Hoon, Member of Parliament, Sembawang GRC, on 9 April 2012.
The Parties welcomed the noticeable activation of Ukraine-Singapore relations, which were given considerable impetus by the visit of former Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew to Ukraine in September 2010, State visit of President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych to Singapore in March 2011 and the appointment of the Special Envoy of Singapore to Ukraine.
The member of Singapore Parliament suggested that the parliamentarians of Ukraine and Singapore, primarily participants of respective friendship groups, establish and maintain regular contacts.
The positive role of the parliamentarians of both countries in the context of realization of tasks envisaged in the Joint Statement on the Presidential visit, aimed at the deepening of bilateral relations, in particular development of the cooperation legal base, people-to-people and business contacts, trade, economic and investment collaboration, was highlighted.
The Parties agreed that the strengthening of inter-parliamentary interaction between the two countries will promote further enhancement of Ukraine-Singapore cooperation.
