Joint press release by the European Union and Ukraine on strengthening military industry ties amid war efforts at the EU-Ukraine Defence Industries Forum
The second EU-Ukraine Defence Industry Forum took place in Brussels on 12 May to bolster cooperation and integration between the Ukrainian and EU defence industries.
More than 500 representatives from EU and Ukraine defence industries came together to strengthen cooperation between both sides, to encourage joint procurement and help Ukraine to obtain capabilities in priority areas. A strong and capable defence industry is crucial to put Ukraine in a position of strength to defend itself and deter any future aggression.
In the margins of the Forum, a newly announced EU-Ukraine Task Force on Defence Industrial Cooperation also met for the first time, paving the way for potential flagship projects between the EU and Ukrainian defence industries. At the Forum, Ukraine and the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) have also signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen defence industrial cooperation. The initiatives are designed to attract greater EU investment in Ukraine's defence sector and deepen industrial ties between the two sides.
More information on the EU-Ukraine Defence Industry Forum is available online.
