The official part of the event was started by Mr. Ambassador with a speech outlining the spheres of cooperation between Ukraine and India, our common achievements and prospects for bilateral cooperation. Mr Partha Satpathy said: “Indians and Ukrainians have shared cultural affinities for several centuries. The similarity between the Ukrainian and Sanskrit languages is a striking example of the historical closeness of our two peoples. The warmth and closeness of our ties have grown even more since Ukraine's declaration of independence in 1991 - India was one of the first countries to recognize Ukraine as a sovereign independent country and established diplomatic relations in January 1992. On the other hand, Ukraine opened its first mission in Asia (and then the third largest Ukrainian embassy in the world) in New Delhi in February 1993. India has a broad bilateral relationship with Ukraine, covering all areas of cooperation. India and Ukraine have signed several memoranda/agreements in various fields, such as diplomatic relations, visa issues, consular issues, trade and commercial issues, space, science and technology, defense, etc. Bilateral trade between the two countries has grown significantly in the last 25 years, reaching almost
$2.8 billion in 2018. India is one of the largest trading partners of Ukraine and is the largest export destination for Ukraine in the Asia-Pacific region".
