On February 17, 2016 the Ambassador of Japan Shigeki Sumi held a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Mr. Pavlo Klimkin.
During the meeting, it was recalled that North Korea launched a ballistic missile which it calls a “satellite” on February 7, 2016. This was following the nuclear test conducted by North Korea on January 6, 2016.

Minister Klimkin expressed his appreciation for Japanese economic cooperation including the modernization of Bortnychi Sewage Treatment Plant. Besides economic cooperation, Ambassador Sumi exchanged views with Minister Klimkin fruitfully on many issues within the bilateral relations.
