KIEV, April 25 -- The economic cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative between China and Ukraine would bring benefits to both countries, Ukrainian officials said here on Tuesday.
Speaking at the China-Ukraine business forum, Deputy Infrastructure Minister Viktor Dovgan said that Ukraine may become a gate of the China's Silk Road to Europe.
"We believe that together we can implement joint projects in Ukraine and within six months Ukraine will appear as a logistic hub on China's Silk Road map," Dovgan told the forum, which is held in the framework of the Sino-Ukrainian cultural exchanges week, titled "One Belt One Road Week."
Dovgan said the Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry pays a particular attention to the development of the Silk Road corridor through the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), which connects China with Europe via Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
In the near future, Kiev plans to launch a regular cargo train service on the TITR way, which would increase trade between Ukraine, China and other countries along the route.
Kiev views the new train service as a unique chance to boost agriculture trade with China, given fine agricultural goods produced in Ukraine and good demand for such products at the Chinese market.
"Ukraine's agricultural sector is developing very dynamically and we have great prospects for cooperation with China in this field. Currently, we are seeking ways to export fruits and berries, particularly cherries, apples and blueberries to the Chinese market," said Alexander Romanovsky, the head of international cooperation department at the Ukrainian Agriculture Ministry.
