KIEV, Oct 9 (NNN-XINHUA) – Ukraine is willing to deepen cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) member states, and partner countries in the Black Sea region, authorities said.
“NATO countries, together with Ukraine, Georgia and even Moldova, can unite their efforts, on the issue of the Black Sea region,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, was quoted by Interfax-Ukraine news agency, as saying.
The Ukrainian official made the remarks during his meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in Ukraine’s western city of Lviv.
Kiev is already in talks with the alliance over strengthening security partnerships in the Black Sea, said Kuleba.
Ukraine, which actively cooperates with NATO, has been seeking to join the organisation since 2014.
Last year, the alliance recognised Ukraine as its Enhanced Opportunities Partner.– NNN-XINHUA
