KYIV, Feb 24 – Ukraine plans to initiate preferential agreements with the countries of North Africa, India and China, as well as with the United States in 2020, Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture, Ukraine's Trade Representative Taras Kachka said.

"We are not going to initiate new agreements on free trade zones in the near future, but we intend to initiate many preferential agreements. A common language can be found much faster in preferential agreements," Kachka said during a discussion of the government exports policy on Friday.
