for theGulf countries. “We invite all persons
interested indevelopment of trade relations
betweenUkraine andArabian countries for a
cooperation”, says Sergey Pachkovsky.
TheDirector General emphasizes that it is
necessary to take into account the specifics of
Ukrainianmentality. Inhis opinion, language
barriers and lackof informationback at the Soviet
timebecame the reasons of developing apassive

is changinggradually. Now the timehas come
for businessmen inUkraine and theUnitedArab

in tradewith theUAE is quite insignificant. This
rather sad factmeans at the same time that there
is ahuge potential for improvement.
