International cooperation

[edit]

The establishment of the Ukrainian-Moldovan Commission for the Sustainable Use and Protection of the Dniester Basin was a new stage in cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and Moldova. The Dniester Commission will contribute to finding effective solutions to environmental problems on both sides of the Dniester.

Cooperation with financial organisations and institutions is an important area of international activities to raise financial investments. Ukrhydroenergo cooperates with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the European Investment Bank under Ukrhydroenergo Hydropower Rehabilitation Project.
