On September 30, 2013, Ukraine’s Ambassador to the U.S. Olexander Motsyk paid a working visit to Massachusetts upon invitation of the Ukrainian Research Institute of Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
At Harvard, the Ambassador of Ukraine delivered a lecture entitled “Ukraine in World Politics Today: Prospects and Challenges”, which dealt with such subjects as Ukraine’s European integration and future Association and Free Trade Area Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, reforms underway in our country, Ukraine-U.S. relations and other topical events of international life. The lecture was followed by a discussion of Ukraine’s foreign and domestic policy.
During the visit, Ambassador had a meeting with University Marshal, and toured the campus and the library.
Founded in June 1973, the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute serves as a focal point for graduate and undergraduate students, fellows, and associates pursuing research in Ukrainian language, literature, and history as well as in anthropology, archaeology, art history, economics, political science, sociology, theology, and other disciplines.
