Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha, in his address to the participants of the International Forum of Cultural Diplomacy, stressed that both Uk rainian defense-industrial complex and Ukrainian culture are the key elements of Ukraine’s strength and influence. 

“In today’s reality, the renaissance of Ukraine’s culture is also a matter of our national security. For Russia, the destruction of our culture, identity, and roots is one of the key objectives of its war. 

Our cultural diplomacy is an integral part of our diplomacy of strength.

Grateful to all our international partners who support our cultural projects and initiatives. This fosters mutual understanding between our peoples, facilitates interpersonal connections, strengthens interstate relations, and reinforces the foundations of our shared security.”
