A delegation from the Republic of Korea has arrived in Kyiv for negotiations on deepening cooperation in the field of recovery. During the joint Forum for Cooperation in Reconstruction between Ukraine and Korea, they agreed to develop infrastructure recovery projects with the involvement of Korean high-tech expertise and business investments.

"The Ministry of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine has been working systematically with Korean colleagues over the past year on the development of joint projects and attracting investments in recovery projects. Private capital and businesses are key participants in the recovery process. The latest Korean experience in technology and transportation is important to us. The Republic of Korea has become a true technological giant and is currently an expert leader in the field. We are grateful for our colleagues' willingness to share their expertise to implement the main idea of post-war recovery - Build Back Better - to rebuild better than before," said Vice Prime Minister for the Recovery of Ukraine and Minister of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine, Olexander Kubrakov.
