Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, together with First Lady Olena Zelenska, have begun a three-day visit to Canada. From 9 to 11 September, the Ukrainian delegation will conduct a series of meetings aimed at deepening defense, economic, and energy cooperation.
This was reported by a correspondent for Ukrinform, citing a statement from the office of Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney.
What is known about Zelenskiy’s visit?
The program for the Ukrainian leader’s stay includes official engagements in three Canadian cities—Calgary, Toronto, and North Bay.
A key event of the trip will be the head of state’s direct participation in a meeting of the Canadian cabinet abroad. The parties will focus on expanding cooperation in security and energy.
The visit will draw attention to Canada’s current leadership in supporting Ukraine and will emphasize our unwavering commitment to a just and lasting peace,
— said by the Office of the Canadian prime minister.
In addition, the President of Ukraine has already established an official delegation to participate in talks with the Canadian side. The aim of the dialogue is to prepare and conclude a foundational century-long partnership agreement between the two states.
As a reminder, Volodymyr Zelenskiy last visited Canada in December of last year on the way to the United States, and the current Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, was in Ukraine on a visit in August of the same year.
Note that immediately before the trip overseas, the head of state was in Norway, where he discussed with Prime Minister Jonas Gar Støre the strengthening of air defense and the development of a new anti-ballistic system, FREYJA.
Earlier, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Georgiy Tikhiy announced that a personal meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Donald Trump is preliminarily scheduled for September. According to him, contact between the presidents will continue, and the meeting may take place, in particular, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly at the end of the month.
