Ukrainian premier eyes doubling trade with Turkey

Turkey and Ukraine can double their bilateral trade volume of almost $5 billion, the Ukrainian prime minister said on Tuesday.

He told Turkish business representatives in the Ukrainian capital Kiev that Turkey is a very important trade and economic partner for Ukraine.

He said leaders of both countries previously agreed to double bilateral trade volume and improve cooperation.
