KIEV (Reuters) - Talks between Ukraine and the IMF on the much-needed next tranche of financial aid should take place as soon as possible, the Ukrainian finance minister said on Wednesday, speaking alongside two other newly appointed foreign-born ministers.

Three non-Ukrainian ministers were elected as part of a new cabinet by parliament on Tuesday, appointments of foreign technocrats seen as a bid by Kiev to prove its commitment to implementing extensive reforms, agreed in exchange for billions of dollars in international financial aid.
