KIEV, March 5 – Ukraine should speed up talks on the establishment of free trade areas with Canada, Israel, Turkey and Serbia, Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara said.

"We need to speed up the signing of agreements on the formation of free trade areas with promising business partners, such as Canada, Israel, Turkey and Serbia," Kozhara said at a joint staff meeting of the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade in Kyiv on Tuesday, while speaking about the Foreign Ministry's priorities for this year.

According to him, this task becomes even more relevant in the view of the start of trade partnership between the EU and the United States.
