At the Rebuild Ukraine conference in Toronto, Ukraine called on Canadian businesses to invest

Rostyslav Shurma, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated at the conference that Ukraine offers two opportunities for Canadian investors: the first is the reconstruction of the country and the economy. The second involves Ukraine's natural advantages, such as significant reserves of natural gas, enormous potential for the production of solar, wind energy, and hydrogen, as well as the largest lithium and uranium reserves in Europe.

Meanwhile, Mary Ng, Canada's Minister of International Trade, announced at the conference that she will lead a business mission to Ukraine next year. She emphasized that the mission to Ukraine will include "truly the best Canadian entrepreneurs."

In the near future, the Canadian Parliament is expected to ratify the updated Free Trade Agreement between the two countries. The Canadian business mission will arrive with specific proposals for investments in the Ukrainian economy and post-war reconstruction, said Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko.

"Ukraine needs foreign investments because they have the most significant multiplier effect for the economy," she emphasized.
