The president called the launch of that enterprise a "striking example of revival of Ukraine," the press service reported on Friday, November 4.
"Despite aggression, Ukraine started to demonstrate economic recovery in 2016. In 2014, many foreigners doubted whether to invest in Ukraine, but now they ascertained that their decision was the right one," Poroshenko said.
According to the president, Ukraine creates thousands of new jobs, introduces new industrial processes and provides decent wages to thousands of workers, boosting the national and local coffers.
He also thanked the investors: "Thank you for producing high-quality goods and glorifying Ukraine in Europe." This has become possible due to the Association Agreement with the EU and the effect of the Agreement on Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTA).
"This means that commodities produced in Ukraine are not subject to taxation on the European market. This brings investments to us. Investors vote for a free and independent Ukraine with their money," Poroshenko said.
