Belgium: Mogherini welcomes Ukrainian FM Klimkin in Brussels

European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin in Brussels on Monday. The meeting comes ahead of the trilateral talks between the EU, Russia and Ukraine scheduled for later in the day. The talks will address Russian concerns over the potential repercussions of the free-trade agreement between the EU and Ukraine. This will be third time the so-called trilateral talks have taken place. In early June and early July, representatives from the three parties met to discuss technical regulations, sanitary needs and customs cooperation for the eastern region of Ukraine. Later today Klimkin is also set to meet with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
