'Kyiv surely has enough potential to become a global city. One just has to use this potential properly. Kyiv is a place of business, industry, culture and arts. Our capital is one of the most important ones in the entire Eastern Europe. So I’m quite interested in experience and the ideas allowing the global cities to prosper. The cooperation between Kyiv and Chicago is extremely important in this regard – specifically, cooperation in the investment area. Chicago is the second U.S. capital in terms of management experience and technologies of urban development', Vitaliy Klitschko said while at the Forum.

The Kyiv mayor visited Ukrainian national museum in Chicago and spoke to the city’s Ukrainian diaspora.
