"We are pleased to note that the trade turnover increased by 30 per cent in Q1 2017 and expect that this indicator will only grow," he said.
Cichocki also said that financial transfers from Poland made by 1.2m Ukrainians who work or study in the Republic of Poland amounted to 8bn zlotys (or 2.22bn dollars).
"This is more than 3 per cent of Ukraine's GDP. This is a significant support which comes from Poland," he said.
