The Ministry of Development proposed that the Dutch side participate in implementing these projects by providing financial, expert, and technological support.
Additionally, the discussion covered enhancing the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Development and the Reconstruction Agency in implementing public investment management reform.
Deputy Minister of Communities and Territories Development Maryna Denysiuk also thanked the Dutch government for another aid package of €30 million for the reconstruction of Ukraine in 2025 and 2026, which was announced at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome.
