U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has said that U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker will visit Ukraine on Sept. 26 this year.
“I was also delighted that we were able to announce the visit to Ukraine on Friday, Sept. 26 by Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. She is the most senior Ukrainian American in the Obama Cabinet,” he said in an interview with the Day newspaper published on Sept. 25.
He said that Pritzker would come with a mission to identify ways and opportunities to expand trade investments between the two countries.
“That is ultimately the key to defending against Russian aggression – a strong, economically vibrant Ukraine, anchored in European institutions,” Pyatt said.
He also said that a team of U.S. experts was currently in Kyiv helping Ukraine strengthen its energy security.
