The Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak met with the delegation of the international group of companies CRH, the leading manufacturer of building materials in North America and Europe. The delegation was headed by Randy Lake, the Chief Operating Officer of the group, and included Peter Buckley, the President of CRH Europe Division, and Guillaume Cavalier, the CRH South-East Europe Region Director.
Andriy Yermak noted that our country is ready to actively promote investments of such powerful global players and to discuss all relevant issues with foreign and local businesses.
According to him, it is important nowadays to understand the exact changes required to improve our business climate. Of course, we need strong institutions, and even during the war, Ukraine continues to implement reforms and heads toward full membership in the European Union.
"On our part — the President, the Office, the Government of Ukraine — we are ready to give you full support. We are interested in having such large investors working in our country in an optimal environment. The fact that you are here and ready to continue your work despite the war is very important," the Head of the Presidential Office emphasized.
He also expressed gratitude to all the American people for their support of Ukraine.
"We are thinking not only about the present but also about the future. It’s extremely important that our countries have been and still are together. The United States is our major and strategic partner," Andriy Yermak said.
