The head of KADORR Group, Adnan Kivan, held a meeting with the Swedish Ambassador to Ukraine, Tobias Tiberg. The dialogue covered topics such as the investment climate in Ukraine, particularly in Odesa, as well as issues related to freedom of speech in the country and region.
"I am very impressed and very grateful to Mr. Adnan Kivan for inviting me here during my brief visit. And I am truly impressed by what I have had the chance to see," said Tobias Tiberg.
"Odesa is one of the most promising cities in Ukraine with unlimited opportunities. And we are ready, with God's help, to continue to develop and invest in this region. We are keeping up with the civilized world and implementing the values on which proper and honest business is built. I am very happy with today's meeting with Mr. Tiberg. We are always open to dialogue," said the head of KADORR Group, Adnan Kivan.
During the meeting, Mr. Tiberg visited the KADORR Group headquarters as well as the leading television channel in the Odesa region, "7 Kanal," where he expressed particular interest in enhancing media freedom.
"I believe that the issue of media freedom in Ukraine is very promising, but we are concerned about certain aspects. We know that there is significant influence from Ukrainian oligarchs on the media, and this, of course, cannot have no effect. We are also concerned about the persecution and brutality towards employees of Ukrainian media, which is absolutely unacceptable. However, fundamentally, we see positive changes for media freedom in Ukraine, and this is exactly what Sweden will continue to support," said the Ambassador.
Currently, Adnan Kivan remains the largest Arab investor in Ukraine. Under his leadership, active multi-million-dollar investments are being made in the construction industry, agriculture, freedom of speech protection, and media support. KADORR Group collaborates closely with European and global companies.
