The agreement was reached during a meeting of Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and the EBRD Vice President Alain Pilloux in Kiev, said a statement on the government's website.
The new cooperation strategy envisages the implementation of long-term large projects in state and private sectors, the statement said.
