Certainly, these are the most evident traits of foreign political activities of Ukraine last year. We pay great attention to relations with Japan and China. Proceeding from the contents and aims of our today s discussion, first and foremost, we are expecting for the partners of Ukraine to be objective in appraising and forecasting processes underway here and for their assistance in making the processes more profound and dynamic. Ukraine has made its European choice, and the time has come for concerted efforts for its implementation in the interests of stability and security on the whole of the continent. Concrete foreign political goals of the year are signing the agreement on the national border with Moldova and Romania, as well as the delimitation of borders with Russia.
Great attention is to be paid to the implementation of our own foreign political initiatives.
I mean the May Central European Summit in Lviv and the Yalta Conference of the Baltic and Black Sea countries in September. The world community has highly evaluated the efforts of the representative of Ukraine at the post of the President of the 52nd General Assembly, and thus we have the reasons to count also on the support of Ukraine during the autumn election of non-permanent members of the Security Council. Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a pleasure for me to emphasize that diplomatic missions accredited to this country and their Heads understand priorities and aims of the foreign policy of Ukraine and contribute to its efforts, so I seize the opportunity and express my sincere gratitude. I hope that our official relations and informal contacts will be still based on the same solid and constructive foundation. Let our planet be more secure and stable on the eve of the 3rd millennium.
