Public Finance Minister will travel to Poland with a
Scottish Chamber of Commerce business delegation this week to
attend the ReBuild Ukraine Construction and Energy conference.
He will undertake a series of engagements to discuss
collaboration opportunities in Poland and Ukraine, including
understanding Ukraine's reconstruction priorities, business and
investment opportunities and the long-term vision.
Ahead of the conference, Mr McKee has pointed to Scotland's
unwavering solidarity with and support for Ukraine. Scotland
strengthened business links by hosting a delegation of 60
Ukrainian Mayors for in May, with the signing of a Memorandum of
Understanding and designating Ukraine as a “Special Interest
Market”, empowering enterprise agencies to proactively facilitate
trade and investment opportunities.
The trade mission to the ReBuild Ukraine conference further
demonstrates Scotland's commitment to supporting the Ukrainians
in their time of need.
Public Finance Minister said:
“Scotland is unwavering in our solidarity with and support for
Ukraine. We are committed to helping the country recover from the
devastating impacts of Russia's illegal invasion, and rebuilding
from the devastation that has caused.
“The Memorandum of Understanding we signed recently will
support trade and investment between Scotland and Ukraine, and
Scottish companies are already supporting reconstruction efforts.
“Scottish companies are already playing their part - such as
Cairnhill Structures in Coatbridge who have supplied steel to
repair bridges in Kyiv. We hope this trade mission will help lay
the ground for further collaboration between Scottish and
Ukrainian businesses during this time of need.”
