CUBI and Ukrainian League of Small and Midsize Private Business Owners Sign Protocol on Cooperation in Kyiv

September 28, 1999

On Monday, September 27 a protocol-agreement on cooperation was signed in Kyiv by the Canadian-Ukrainian Business Initiative (CUBI) and the Ukrainian League of Small and Midsize Privately-Run Businessmen. The document provides for the two parties' joint effort in aiding Ukrainian and Canadian companies looking for eligible business partners. The job is supposed to last until the spring of 2000 when Kyiv hosts the CUBI-2000 conference.

The cooperation project, which dates back to 1997, is aimed at promoting Canadian-Ukrainian trade, attracting Canadian capital investments and creating multitudinous new jobs in unemployment-stricken Ukraine.
