Consul general of Ukraine in Sydney returns to Kyiv

SYDNEY - The Consul General of Ukraine in Sydney, Vasyl Korzachenko informed the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organizations (AFUO) on November 4, that he has been recalled to Kyiv to take up a new post and will leave Australia on Monday, November 11.

The AFUO extended its thanks to Mr. Korzachenko for his commitment. Since his arrival in Australia he sought a close working relationship with the AFUO and the Ukrainian community in Australia.

During his term in Australia, Mr. Korzachenko and the AFUO undertook a number of joint tasks. The campaign for stronger Australian diplomatic representation in Kyiv was undertaken; issues of trade, immigration, awareness about Ukraine, activity to raise the image of Ukraine and meetings with a range of delegations are but some of the activities undertaken together.

"On behalf of the Ukrainian community in Australia, we extend our thanks to Mr. Korzachenko and wish him well in the future. He has been a true friend of the community," said Stefan Romaniw, Chairman of the AFUO.

"We tackled a range of challenging tasks together, holding Ukraine in our focus. Whilst we may not have agreed on all matters, the diplomatic and community sectors worked extremely well together. Mr. Korzachenko can be proud of his achievements," Mr. Romaniw underscored.

The AFUO, in conjunction with the Council of Ukrainians in NSW held a farewell function for the departing consul general on November 9 in Sydney.
