Kyivstar is privileged to serve as an example of how Ukrainian businesses combine resilience with development and growth, saidOleksandr Komarov, President of Kyivstar. This week, as the flagbearer of Ukraine in U.S. stock markets, we set an example for our peers in Ukraine and accelerate the conversation with U.S. and global investors for opportunities that Kyivstar and Ukraine present. We look forward to carrying this conversation further and into action.
For me, theres nothing more special than what were doing right here in New York with Kyivstar and for Ukraine, added Augie K Fabela II, Chairman and Founder of VEON, This week's engagements demonstrated once again the strong interest not only in Kyivstar's successful business, but in the opportunity to invest in Ukraine and participate in the country's rebuilding and recovery.
Kyivstar's listing on Nasdaq is a major milestone for VEON, but this week's engagements have been so much more than that, said Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO and Chairman of the Kyivstar Board of Directors. This is also about Ukraine putting its flag up here in New York, at the heart of global business and finance, and saying we are here to grow'. We look forward to creating more value for all our stakeholders - our company, investors and Ukraine itself.
The Opening Bell ceremony was the culmination of strategic engagements that VEON and Kyivstar held earlier in the week.
Prior to the bell ceremony, the two companies held an investor meeting with over 160 in person and online participants. VEON and Kyivstar also convened the first Invest in Ukraine, NOW! U.S.-Ukraine Business Symposium in the U.S., bringing together senior representatives of American and Ukrainian businesses, investors, and government. Symposium participants discussed Ukraine's innovation and resilience, opportunities to invest in Ukraine today, and the promise of future reconstruction and recovery.
At all events, including the opening bell ceremony at Nasdaq, participants observed a moment of silence to honor the victims of recent attacks on Ukraine.
