BERLIN (Reuters) -Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter and Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko discussed the peace process and reconstruction in Ukraine during talks in Bern on Thursday, the Swiss government said.
The countries announced 12 projects to be run by Swiss companies and supported by the Swiss government as part of Ukraine's reconstruction in the areas of infrastructure, public transport, health and humanitarian mine clearing.
Firms selected include Geberit, which plans to install sanitary facilities, Divario, which will erect prefabricated housing, and Roche Diagnostics which will build a medical laboratory.
The Swiss government is providing about 100 million Swiss francs ($124.70 million) to support the companies.
