Doha, May 24 (QNA) - Ukraine's Ambassador to Qatar Yevhen Mykytenko Sunday visited Katara Cultural Village here and met with Katara Cultural Village Director General Dr. Khalid Bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti. During the meeting, they discussed plans of hosting joint cultural events, including Ukranian art films and organising a concert by musicians from Ukraine. The public screening of the Ukrainian film will be held June 13 at Katara theatre. Ambassador Mykytenko thanked Dr Sulaiti and Katara for showcasing two exhibitions at Katara. Ukranian artist Andre Chernovil's 30 works and 'Children Are The Future', an exhibition of paintings by pupils of Kyiv Palace for Children and Youth were exhibited earlier this month. Chernovil gifted to the Ukrainian Embassy in Doha his painting 'Meeting', which symbolizes friendly relations between Qatar and Ukrainian peoples. Dr. Sulaiti welcomed the Ambassador's proposals for organising joint cultural events between Ukraine and Qatar and assured him Katara would co-operate. The Director General highlighted the importance of cultural events and art exhibitions that Katara hosts throughout the year.
