The outcome of discussions will be presented publically in Davos (Switzerland) at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in January 2014 at which government, business and international institutions will take part. 

"The World Economic Forum’s Strategic Dialogue on Ukraine was a ground breaking event for Ukraine and brought the government together in discussions with leading international and Ukrainian business and international institutions as well as the best experts in the field of economic development," said Jock Mendoza-Wilson, SCM's director of international and investor relations, who moderated one of the panel discussions. "The two days of detailed discussion and debate really focused on the priorities for the nation’s development through to 2030.  The key themes which were drawn from the WEF Dialogue were the need for a level playing field to attract increased investment to Ukraine to help the country’s transformation to a strong European state; the importance of the government continuing its reform agenda, and the need for Ukraine to be a strong trading nation with a multilateral trade policy in place with the European Union, Russia, China and middle east region and its  black sea neighbours."
