Podgorica, September 10, 2025: The President of the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIR), Mr. Mihai Daraban, held an official meeting on September 10, 2025 with Mr. Gennadiy Chyzhykov, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine (UCCI), on the sidelines of the Annual General Assembly of the Association of Balkan Chambers of Commerce, where Romania, through the National Chamber, assumed the presidency of this organization.

The bilateral meeting aimed to consolidate economic cooperation between the two states and identify new development opportunities in the current regional context. Discussions focused on evaluating the regional economic situation, with emphasis on trade relations between Romania and Ukraine.

“Romania can play a fundamental role in Ukraine’s economic reconstruction, leveraging our geographical advantages and developed infrastructure. The Port of Constanța represents a very important gateway for Ukrainian trade to European and international markets, and our experience in European integration can be valuable for Ukraine’s subsequent path. We need to develop transport and logistics corridors to leverage the strategic advantages of Romanian infrastructure. Additionally, there must be knowledge transfer through mentorship programs and exchange of best practices between business environments from both countries, as well as cooperation in strategic fields such as green energy, digitalization, agriculture, etc., sectors where both countries have competitive advantages and complementarity potential,” stated CCIR President Mr. Mihai Daraban.
