"I know that some airlines want to resume their flights – this will give impetus to the gradual resumption of the tourism industry," the press service quoted the Ukrainian president as saying.
The Turkish president, in turn, noted that Turkey would do everything to make Ukrainian tourists feel comfortable and safe.
They also discussed the global situation around the coronavirus pandemic, as well as measures to overcome this crisis and minimize its consequences for society and the economies of the two states.
"Erdogan also asked about the health of the First Lady of Ukraine, conveyed greetings to her and wished her a speedy recovery," the press service said.
Zelensky, in turn, thanked the Turkish people and personally the President of the Republic of Turkey for the humanitarian assistance provided to Ukraine to combat COVID-19.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Turkish side is ready to receive Ukrainian tourists starting from July 1, 2020, without self-isolation requirements and testing, but they should travel in compliance with safety standards set by air carriers.
