Ukraine enjoys a unique opportunity to join the world economy’s leaders in the next 10 years. This opportunity is linked to the development of the Ukrainian agricultural sector, Petro Poroshenko, Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, stated during the discussion on “The Future and the World Economy” at 9th Yalta Annual Meeting of YES.
The world is in search of new models of economic growth. In this situation the countries such as Ukraine have a chance to follow a new path of development, said Viktor Yanukovych, President of Ukraine, in his opening speech at the 9th Annual Meeting of Yalta European Strategy.
Crises provide each country with the opportunity to implement requisite reforms and, eventually, to outrun the others in the global race, Victor Pinchuk - Yalta European Strategy Founder and Board Member, Ukrainian businessman and public person - said opening the plenary sessions of the 9th Yalta Annual Meeting.
