Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Yevhen Perebyinis on Thursday received copies of credentials from the new Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium to Ukraine, Luc Jacobs.

The press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said the Ukrainian diplomat noted Belgium's significant contribution to ensuring Ukraine's defense capability, expressed gratitude for Ukraine's support in its European integration process during Belgium's presidency of the EU Council and expressed hope for further fruitful cooperation between the countries, given the formation of the new government of this state.

"Particular attention was paid to the active involvement of Belgian business in the processes of restoration and modernization of Ukrainian infrastructure facilities and the energy sector," it said.

The interlocutors also discussed in detail the possibilities of further involving Belgium in promoting the Peace Formula of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, supporting Ukraine on the path to membership in the EU and NATO, and exchanged views on current pressing issues on the bilateral agenda.

The Belgian diplomat assured of his determination to make every effort to further develop cooperation between Kyiv and Brussels.
