Since the Russian aggression in Ukraine, relations between Germany and Ukraine have intensified. On 18 November 2024, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia organised a conference on cooperation with Ukraine in cooperation with the city of Cologne. The aim of the conference was to network North Rhine-Westphalian and Ukrainian stakeholders from state and local government, business, civil society and academia. The focus was on the question of how horizontal cooperation can contribute to strengthening Ukraine’s resilience, reconstruction and EU integration. The regional partnership between North Rhine-Westphalia and the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was a particular focus.
With 300 German and 100 Ukrainian guests, the conference was a success. It was officially opened by the Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hendrik Wüst, and the Mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker.
