The Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Vladislav Krykliy, as part of the delegation of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal, paid a working visit to Turkey.
On November 29, a roundtable was held with leading Turkish companies with a total investment portfolio of $ 5 billion.
The parties discussed the possibility of further cooperation in the implementation of promising investment projects in Ukraine with the involvement of public-private partnership mechanisms.
Vladislav Krikliy said that Ukraine is interested in developing a mutually beneficial investment partnership with Turkey and already has a positive experience of cooperation with Turkish companies.
The minister also said that the Ukrainian government recently approved a list of priority investment projects for the state for the next three years, of which 40% are infrastructure and transport projects. Krikliy invited Turkish companies to participate in the implementation of large investment projects at a competitive cost.
As the first successful examples of such a partnership, the minister cited the signing of concession agreements in the seaports of Olvia and Kherson with a total investment of about $ 134 million. Next in line are the concessions of the railway-ferry complex and the first and container terminals of the Black Sea port, sea trade ports in Izmail and Berdyansk, as well as a passenger complex in the Odessa port.
