Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his two-day state visit to Ukraine will discuss the launch of a free trade zone between the two countries and a pension agreement.
Before departing to Kyiv, Netanyahu spoke with reporters, calling the visit important given the fact that hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens who came from Ukraine remain a living link between the two countries, and this connection needs to be strengthened, RBC-Ukraine reported referring to the Israeli media.
"I intend to discuss with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky the establishment of a free trade zone, a pension agreement, and other issues that will further strengthen the excellent relations between our states," added the Israeli prime minister.
