President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko met with President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Suma Chakrabarti.

"We have a great history of cooperation between Ukraine and the EU. Today, the Beskyd tunnel was opened - the largest infrastructure project in Ukraine, implemented with the help of international partners, including the EBRD. I am sure that every year we can jointly implement a number of major projects in different spheres," the President of Ukraine emphasized.

The Presidents paid special attention to the implementation of reforms in the banking, energy and energy efficiency spheres.

The interlocutors noted that the meeting of the National Investment Council to be held on May 25 should be an important event for presenting the results of the reforms to foreign investors and attracting investments for Ukraine's economic development.

The President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development expressed willingness to continue supporting Ukraine on the way of implementation of structural reforms in the economy.
