Ambassador Motsyk informed business and political circles about the pace of social and economic reforms in Ukraine, business environment, export and investment opportunities of Ukrainian regions. Special attention was paid to the foreign policy priorities, including strategic partnership with the United States and European aspirations of Ukraine.

The sides exchanged views concerning the promising areas of cooperation in business and investments, joint projects between the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island and the regions of Ukraine, namely Zhytomyr and Rivne regions, which have already expressed their willingness to establish mutually beneficial connections with the American states.
