Boeing interested in cooperation with Ukraine

The Boeing Company is interested in cooperation with Ukraine, which is extremely beneficial for the state as well. This was stated by Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Serhiy Kryvonos in the “Informational Evening” program on Channel 5.

According to him, this can become a successful example of cooperation at such a level “in order to attract other investors and draw in more projects to Ukraine to deepen military-technical cooperation with NATO member states”. “For us, this means thousands of jobs, an opportunity to make our army stronger, and to strengthen positions in international markets”, – Mr. Kryvonos underscored.

The Deputy Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine informed that the first stage of negotiations with The Boeing Company was already held, and “during May-June, several rounds of negotiations on detailed cooperation are foreseen”.

“Negotiations, which determined the general line of action, were held”, – he said, adding that, first of all, this refers to the large-scale assembly, the repair of airplanes on the basis of domestic aircraft repair plants, and the development of the infrastructure of these plants for servicing of Boeing aircraft in the territory of Ukraine.

Serhiy Kryvonos added that cooperation with Ukraine is also strategically beneficial for Boeing itself since the company is competing with Airbus in the European market and Lockheed in the US. “Therefore, for them, it is a rather successful project, which will allow becoming stronger in their market as well”, – the Deputy Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine stressed.
