| Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said in Davos, Switzerland, on Saturday that cooperation between Iran and Ukraine in the fields of industry, trade, investment and energy are in line with mutual interests. In a meeting with new Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, Kharrazi outlined Iran's future plans in the areas of oil and gas and added such mutual cooperation would promote industrial and trade ties. "Effective cooperation between Iran and Ukraine will lead to strengthening stability and peace in the region and will be in the interests of all regional states," Kharrazi said. The Ukrainian president said Iran is among important and reliable partners of Ukraine, adding his government's policy attaches importance to expansion of ties with Iran. He added the joint economic commission between the two countries should be seriously followed up and stressed joint cooperation in the fields of plane and wagon manufacturing and ship-building. Yushchenko expressed his country's readiness to play an active role in holding multilateral meetings on Iran's gas pipeline to Europe. |

| #2 Ukraine gets EU membership That works as a reward only if you consider EU membership is a good thing for Ukraine. Be very careful about calling EU a good thing in Rantburg. |
