Ukraine has taken another important step towards membership in the OECD.
The Verhovna Rada adopted a law integrating Ukraine's legal system with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.
This illustrates our country's unwavering commitment to reform, integrity and the highest international standards, and sends a clear signal of Ukraine's determination to advance its integration into the OECD.
"I was especially happy to learn about this news in Paris, where the headquarters of the OECD is located.
We call on all OECD member countries to recognize this progress and support the start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession.
It is time to turn our achievements in reforms and shared commitment to OECD values into concrete steps towards membership," said Minister Andrey Sibiga.
