The First Deputy Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Iryna Herashchenko met with Chinese newsmen and bloggers. The sitting topics were the current security situation in the state, restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, restitution of Donbas and the Crimea, the Ukrainian history, traditions and culture.

The Chinese press minds acknowledged having a very slight knowledge of Ukraine today, let alone its old history. Almost the same was said by I.Herashchenko in return.

She then reiterated that the Kyiv-Beijing interrelations, presently on the rise, need to be intensified and deepened – in economy, trading and humanitarian spheres in particular.

The First Deputy gave the audience a quick overview of the reforming process in Ukraine, and noticed Ukraine’s keen interests in enhancement of friendship with China and further cooperation.
