According to the report, a statement was made after the talks of the Ukrainian Ambassador in Saudi Arabia Vadim Vakhrushev with 25 Saudi businessmen.

In the near future Saudi businessmen plan to visit Ukraine to assess the investment opportunities. Also expected return visits of Ukrainian businessmen to Riyadh.
