According to the order, the joint statement from Ukraine will be signed by Acting Minister of Energy Olha Buslavets, the press service of the Ministry of Energy writes.
“Cooperation within the framework of the Joint Statement will allow Ukraine to adopt Germany's experience in the successful transformation of the coal industry and work actively with international partners to create a new economy in the coal regions. The Joint Statement will promote the European Commission’s New Green Deal initiative,” the message says.
The press service notes that the signing of the Joint Statement will create a platform for political dialogue and cooperation between Ukraine and Germany in the energy sector with a focus on the development of “green” energy and energy efficiency technologies and will allow expanding cooperation with German energy institutions, as well as will demonstrate the intentions of Ukraine to develop a clear and qualitatively new energy sector to the European partners.
