Andrii Pashchuk, Acting Director of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Andy Hunder, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine. The event was also attended by Tetiana Prokopchuk, the Chamber Vice President, and Yuliia Borshch, Legal Policy Manager.
The document envisages deepening cooperation between the ESBU and the Chamber. In particular, it includes the creation a Working Group to develop mechanisms for resolving problematic issues in the interaction between business and the ESBU, holding joint strategic sessions of the Chamber's sectoral committees with the Bureau's experts, and exchanging information.
According to Andrii Pashchuk, Head of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, the ESBU is currently undergoing institutional development, which requires constructive communication with the business community and the public. At the same time, this dialogue will contribute to a deeper study of systemic negative phenomena in the economy and will allow us to find balanced approaches to eliminate them.
In their turn, representatives of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine stressed the importance of cooperation between business and government and thanked the Bureau's leadership for their willingness to cooperate.
