(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was announced by Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Taras Kachka on Facebook.

He noted that the Government Office for Coordination of European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, the language technology company Tilde, and the National AI Center of Latvia signed a memorandum of cooperation aimed at developing a national unified translation tool.

The document establishes a framework for collaboration in language model development, knowledge-sharing, and the implementation of AI instruments to strengthen Ukraine's institutional capacity on its path to EU membership.

The signing took place under the joint chairmanship of Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže and Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Kachka.

Kachka emphasized that Ukraine is currently in an active phase of accession negotiations with the EU.“The next 24 months are decisive, and it is crucial now to unite efforts not only to implement legislation, but also to introduce tools that reinforce the state's institutional capacity,” he said.

He added that among such tools are artificial intelligence technologies, particularly for translating and analyzing large volumes of EU legal acts, noting the importance of preserving Ukrainian language culture and authentic linguistic models in public documentation related to European integration.

Tilde, he said, was chosen as the most suitable solution for Ukraine's needs, as the platform accounts for the specifics of the Ukrainian language – its phraseology, morphology, and stylistics – ensuring authenticity of translations.

Kachka noted that this approach will also make it possible to scale the technology in the future to involve other ministries, state bodies, and enterprises. The cooperation framework includes expert exchanges, joint language model development, and support for new digital services.

As reported, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže arrived in Kyiv for an official visit on November 26.

She announced the allocation of €15 million to provide Ukraine with drones and support innovative research in this field in 2026.
