Ambassador of Ukraine to Nigeria Ivan Kholostenko gave a comment to a number of leading media in Nigeria during the Cavic Festival, co-organized by the Embassy.

Main theses:

- Despite the ongoing war, Ukraine continues to increase its diplomatic presence in Africa.

- Russia is trying to destroy Ukrainian culture, language and national identity. Therefore, we pay great attention to cultural diplomacy and present ourselves to the world.

- Both Ukrainians and Nigerians are people with deep cultural roots and rich history. Our cooperation will help enrich the cultural heritage of both nations.

- Fashion and cinema are two promising areas of cooperation between Ukraine and Nigeria. The interaction of our artists and the exchange of experience will not only make us known to the world and promote nations as a brand, but also create jobs and give an impetus to economic cooperation.
