Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have formalized several agreements during Modi’s visit to Kyiv, focusing on agriculture, medical products regulation, and cultural cooperation. The leaders oversaw the signing of four key documents that are set to enhance bilateral relations in these areas.
The agreements include a cooperation framework in agriculture and the food industry. This agreement aims to foster collaboration in information exchange, joint scientific research, and agricultural research, alongside the formation of joint working groups.
In the field of medical products regulation, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation of India and the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This MoU outlines plans for collaboration on improving the safety and quality of medical products through information exchange, capacity building, workshops, training, and mutual visits.
Another MoU establishes the framework for Indian humanitarian grant assistance to support high-impact community development projects in Ukraine. These projects will be carried out in partnership with the Ukrainian government, aimed at benefiting the local population.
Additionally, a Programme of Cultural Cooperation was signed, covering the years 2024-2028. This program is designed to deepen cultural ties between India and Ukraine, encouraging exchanges in theatre, music, fine arts, literature, and other cultural fields. It also includes efforts to protect and promote both tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
