Among the important steps on this way the president pointed out the Parliament’s approval of the Law of Ukraine ‘On the foundations of home and foreign policy’, which determines strategic directions of the development of our state. By means of joint efforts of all competent state bodies, Ukraine is able to make itself known as a strong sovereign state, which conducts its home and foreign policy with confidence and which is welcomed on the international arena.
"I would also like to highlight that the approval of these laws definitely puts our state’s life in order and gives people clear-cut guidelines. Today, when this law is already in effect, we have achieved an important thing – Ukraine has become a predictable partner in the world. It is very important because solid and reliable relations can be built only on the basis of trust," he noted.

We are now consulting European experts, working with the Venice Commission regarding the expertise of new laws so that justice would become the thing that we value rather than the thing that we are afraid of.
Today a system of cooperation with many international experts and organizations has been established in order to carry out a public governance reform," the president explained.
