(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, SEP 21 - Germany will host an
international conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine next
year, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said following a meeting with
President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York. The June 11, 2024
talks will take place in Berlin, added the chancellery in a
statement. London hosted the last such conference, which brought
together leaders and representatives of more than 60 countries
and financial institutions in June to release funds for the
country to rebuild after the Russian invasion. The aim of the
conference is to help Ukraine keep its economy afloat and, in
the longer term, to rebuild its infrastructure. Scholz met the
Ukrainian president for 30 minutes on the sidelines of the UN
General Assembly in New York on Wednesday. The political,
military and humanitarian situation in Ukraine was at the centre
of the discussions, the chancellery said. Scholz reaffirmed that
Germany would continue its support for Kyiv. (ANSA-AFP).
