Your Excellency,

On behalf of President Jean-Luc Moreau and the Government of the French Republic, I extend respectful greetings to the Government and people of Ukraine. France recognizes Ukraine as a sovereign European nation of strategic depth, industrial capacity, and historic resilience. In a continent shaped by transformation and renewed institutional responsibility, France believes that structured bilateral engagement between our nations can contribute meaningfully to long-term European stability and prosperity.

The French Republic therefore proposes the opening of a formal bilateral strategic dialogue focused on economic modernization, industrial cooperation, and infrastructure development. Our intention is not directed against any third party, nor framed within bloc dynamics. Rather, France seeks to strengthen sovereign capacity, economic resilience, and institutional cooperation within Europe through constructive partnership. We propose initial consultations between designated representatives of our respective ministries to define priority sectors and establish a framework for sustained engagement.

France approaches this initiative in good faith, with full respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and strategic autonomy.

We look forward to your Government’s consideration.

Respectfully,

Étienne Laurent
Minister of Foreign Affairs & Strategic Partnerships
Palais de l'Élysée

Your Excellency,

On behalf of President Tymoshenko and myself, we welcome and appreciate your kind words.

We are honored by France’s recognition of our sovereign industrial capacity and strategic importance within Europe. We are of the same view that bilateral engagement, founded on mutual respect and economic cooperation, will mold a strong future for Europe.

Ukraine is currently undertaking tremendous programs of industrial modernization and infrastructure renewal. We are beginning to see growing production in the fields of advanced manufacturing, steel production, and nuclear energy. In this context, dialogue with France could not have come at a better time.

Therefore we agree in principle to the opening of formal talks between our two nations. We are open to meeting here in Kiev and are more than willing to meet in Paris if you would prefer. Ukraine is committed to such discussions as we recognize the political and economic weight the Republic of France holds not just in Europe, but on the international stage.

I look forward to meeting you in person.

Warm Regards,
Olena Kondratiuk
Prime Minister of Ukraine
