KYIV, Dec 17 – Ukraine will instruct its diplomats around the world to focus on helping to boost the country’s exports, as well as to ensure security and expand ties with Ukrainians living in other countries.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said these three tasks were so important that diplomatic personnel will be reshuffled to reflect the new priorities.

"The country must learn how to make money. When we learn to earn money, bring money into the country and protect it inside the country, then we will become a really strong state," Kuleba said.
