Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych will visit the United States in April, the country's prime minister said.

Kostyantyn Hryshchenko made the announcement on Ukraine's Inter television channel on Friday, adding that "it would not be the last visit" and that the foreign ministry is making sure the visit will be "transparent and serious."

According to Ukrainian weekly Zerkalo Nedeli (Mirror of the Week), Yanukovych was invited by U.S. President Barack Obama to visit on April 12.

Ukraine's Channel 5 television said Yanukovych's visit would not be an official or working visit as he is to take part in a nuclear security summit.

Yanukovych is also set to meet with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the directors from the World Bank and the World Monetary Fund.
