KIEV, Jan. 27 – The signing of a free-trade agreement (FTA) between Ukraine and Canada will promote an increase in goods turnover between the two countries and the inflow of Canadian investment to Ukraine, Ukrainian Economic Development and Trade Minister Aivaras Abromavicius said.

"Today we've discussed the prospects of signing the FTA agreement between our countries. Negotiations are underway, and there are still few sensitive points. The signing of the document will positively influence the expansion of trade with Canada and it will help increase investment," he said, at a joint briefing with Canadian Minister of International Trade Ed Fast in Kiev on Monday.
