Ambassador of Ukraine to the U.S. Valeriy Chaly and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation Vann Van Diepen also took part in the event.

The delegations exchanged ideas on the ways of strengthening cooperation in peaceful space exploration in a number of specific areas of mutual interest. The U.S. side expressed its willingness to intensify bilateral space cooperation.

Ambassador Chaly noted that people in Ukraine have really high expectations for the soonest establishment of full-scale mutually fruitful cooperation with the U.S. in the area of space exploration.
