KIEV, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Ukraine has presented its proposals on the minerals agreement to the United States, the Ukrinform news agency reported Monday, citing First Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
"The Ukrainian delegation had the opportunity to convey to the American side all the proposals that we prepared in Kiev," Svyrydenko was quoted as saying.
She said that some agreements were reached during the consultations and expressed hope for continued dialogue with Washington on the matter. "This is not the final round," she said.
A technical delegation from Ukraine arrived in the United States last week for the consultation, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported. ■
