Ukraine and Portugal start negotiations on a security agreement
On April 24, representatives of Ukraine and Portugal began work on a draft bilateral security agreement and agreed on a schedule for further negotiations.
This was reported by the Office of the President.
At the first round of talks, the Ukrainian group was represented by Deputy Head of the Office of the President Ihor Zhovkva.
In addition to the security agreement, the parties discussed preparations for the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland and Portugal's role in implementing the Ukrainian “peace formula” and “involving the countries of the Global South in this process.”
As a reminder, in July 2023, the leaders of the Group of Seven, together with Ukraine, adopted a declaration that became the basis for bilateral security agreements. They are supposed to guarantee long-term support for Ukraine until it joins NATO.
