President of Ukraine proclaimed that Ukraine has intensions to develop relations with Great Britain in the nearest time.

Ukraine is very interested in developing collaboration with Britain, said on 24 January 2008 President of Ukraine - Viktor Yuschenko.

Ukrainian President had meeting with the leader of Britain's Conservative Party, David Cameron, during the World Economic Forum that took place in Davos.

Yuschenko said Ukraine wants to develop collaboration with the United Kingdom, in particular in economic and investment collaboration and trade development, the presidential press service reported.

Trade between Ukraine and the Great Britain in January-September 2007 was $1.7 billion that is 30% up on the same period of 2006.

The Ukrainian president mentioned that Ukraine appreciates Britain's consistent support for the country's intensions to get European Union membership. He added he hoped that Britain would support the introduction of the provisions on political association and economic integration in the new agreement between Ukraine and the EU.

Yuschenko also thanked those Conservative Party members who gave much support the incentive of the British-Ukrainian All Party Parliamentary Group to honor victims of the Famine in Ukraine.

Viktor Yuschenko kindly invited Cameron to visit Ukraine.
