Dmytro Kuleba starts second tour of African countries interested in Ukrainian goods and services

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has started his second tour of Africa and visited Morocco.

Kuleba announced this on Instagram.

“This is the first visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to Morocco since the establishment of bilateral relations. In October 2022, I made my first-ever tour of African countries. Back then, I visited Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Kenya,” the minister said.

He set himself three key objectives:

• to involve as many African countries as possible in the implementation of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Peace Formula;
• to enlist support for the uninterrupted export of Ukrainian grain under the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the President’s Grain from Ukraine program;
• create new opportunities for Ukrainian business.

“Africa is interested in Ukrainian goods and services, in particular food, medicines, high-tech equipment, education, experience in digital transformation and strengthening information resilience, diplomatic experience, and interaction in international organizations,” Kuleba said.

As a reminder, on October 3-12, 2022, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister went on his first-ever tour of Africa. The key topic of the minister’s talks was the consolidation of political support for Ukraine from the countries of the global south against the backdrop of Russian aggression, including the latest attempt to annex Ukrainian territories.
