On behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrainian diplomats held negotiations with exhibition operators and agreed on the possibility of Ukrainian exporters participating in 33 exhibitions around the world free of charge or at a significant discount.
The minister said this during an online briefing on Wednesday, July 13.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs promotes exports as much as possible, creates new opportunities, and helps Ukrainian businesses to go abroad. Thanks to the work of diplomats, Ukrainian business will be able to present goods and services at collective stands in 33 international exhibitions abroad free of charge or with very significant discounts

According to the minister, exhibition activities' effectiveness increased after the war began: "Now there is great interest in Ukraine all over the world. When visitors to exhibitions see the Ukrainian flag, they approach, are interested in products, ask about Ukraine, business, and how to help. Therefore, the collective stands of Ukrainian companies will work even more efficiently than last year. I advise our exporters to take advantage of this."
In September 2022, Ukrainian diplomats, as part of the Council of Exporters and Investors of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (REI), agreed on the preferential participation of Ukrainian exporters in 13 exhibition events around the world. Five of them will allow participation on a free basis, the rest - on preferential terms.
The Council of Exporters and Investors under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (MFA) is a platform where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accumulates information about investment and trade opportunities from around the world and also promotes the establishment of business contacts between Ukrainian exporters and importers abroad.
