The President informed that in his speech at the WEF session he set forth Ukraine’s position on energy issues and economic development. "There was a discussion about the situation in the world, forecasts for the next 5 years, and about Ukraine’s perception of its way," he said.

The President praised the effectiveness of World Economic Forum dialogue on the issues of energy security.

This information is obviously very useful for us," he said.
