Ukraine and Denmark will jointly hold a Ukrainian-Danish defense industry forum with a focus on drone production, the foreign ministry reports.
At a joint press conference with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Kuleba said that Ukraine and Denmark will hold a defense industry forum.
"Denmark has a serious potential in drone production. We have agreed that the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, together with the Ministries of Defense and Strategic Industries, will organize a Ukrainian-Danish Defense Industries Forum. We will focus on the development of joint projects for the production of drones, taking into account Denmark's special capabilities in this area."
The head of Ukrainian diplomacy also thanked his Danish counterpart for assurances that preparations for the transfer of F-16 aircraft by Denmark are going according to plan and there are no threats to disrupt the program.
"Denmark is keeping its word, and the F-16s that Denmark was the first to promise will be in our airspace, helping us to defend our country. This was also a historic step, and, as they say, everything is going according to plan."
Kuleba noted that in the summer there will be a NATO summit in Washington and the goals of the summit should be discussed now.
