The Israeli president is expected to deliver a speech at the Verkhovna Rada [the Ukrainian parliament] during his visit to Kyiv. To promote bilateral relations, a visit to Ukraine by Speaker of the Knesset Yuli Edelstein is also on the agenda.

The signing of a memorandum of cooperation between Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada and Israel's Knesset will enhance cooperation between both the parties. Another important issue, according to the Ukrainian parliament's speaker, is the country's ratification of a Social Security Agreement and an agreement on temporary employment of Ukrainians in certain sectors of Israel's economy.

"We will consider the documents in Parliament, and support and ratify the agreement," the speaker said.
