Mr. Zlenko's visit to Canada provides an opportunity to discuss progress on Canada and Ukraine's "Special Partnership," a bilateral memorandum of understanding signed in 1994. This partnership was developed to pursue shared interests, drawing on the heritage of the over one million Canadians who trace their ancestry to Ukraine. The visit will also provide an opportunity to discuss current developments in Ukraine, as well as Ukraine's experience during its March 2001 Presidency of the UN Security Council. During the visit, Canada and Ukraine will sign a Framework Arrangement on the destruction of anti-personnel landmines in Ukraine. This document represents an important step in Canada's co-operation with Ukraine on the destruction of millions of stockpiled landmines in Ukraine, and demonstrates the commitment of both countries to creating an environment of enhanced peace and security in Eastern Europe.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>A media opportunity is scheduled as follows:</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong><u>Signing ceremony</u></strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>Date: Monday, March 26, 2001</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>Time: 4:45 p.m.</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>Location: 9th Floor, Lester B.

Zlenko offrira l'occasion de discuter des progr&egrave;s du partenariat sp&eacute;cial entre le Canada et l'Ukraine, un protocole d'entente bilat&eacute;ral sign&eacute; en 1994. Ce partenariat a &eacute;t&eacute; &eacute;tabli pour poursuivre des int&eacute;r&ecirc;ts communs qui s'inspirent en partie du patrimoine de plus d'un million de Canadiens de souche ukrainienne. La visite du ministre Zlenko permettra &eacute;galement de discuter de la situation actuelle en Ukraine ainsi que l'exp&eacute;rience de ce pays lors de son passage &agrave; la pr&eacute;sidence du Conseil de s&eacute;curit&eacute; des Nations Unies en mars 2001. Elle fournira en outre l'occasion au Canada et &agrave; l'Ukraine de signer un accord cadre sur la destruction des mines terrestres de l'Ukraine. Ce document, qui repr&eacute;sente un pas important dans la coop&eacute;ration qui s'est &eacute;tablie entre le Canada et l'Ukraine en vue de la destruction de millions de mines stock&eacute;es dans ce pays, est une manifestation de la d&eacute;termination des deux pays &agrave; cr&eacute;er un environnement favorisant la paix et la s&eacute;curit&eacute; en Europe orientale.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>Une rencontre avec les repr&eacute;sentants des m&eacute;dias est pr&eacute;vue comme suit :</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong><u>C&eacute;r&eacute;monie de signature</u></strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>Date : Le lundi 26 mars 2001</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>Heure : 16 h 45</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="-1"><strong>Endroit : &Eacute;difice Lester B.
