President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney signed the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Agreement on Security Cooperation between Ukraine and Canada.
This plan defines the key areas and mechanisms for implementing bilateral cooperation in the security sphere. It covers military training, the development of defense capabilities, intelligence sharing, cybersecurity, and the fight against terrorism and hybrid threats.
Ukraine and Canada signed the Agreement on Security Cooperation on February 24 of last year. At that time, Canada became the first country outside Europe to confirm its security commitments to Ukraine. The two countries thus launched a strategic security partnership in various areas.
In the presence of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mark Carney, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal and Minister of National Defense of Canada David McGuinty signed the Letter of Intent between the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Department of National Defense of Canada concerning the joint production of defense materiel in Canada and Ukraine.
The document confirms Canada’s intention to finance joint production of Ukrainian-origin defense materiel in Canada and Ukraine to support our country and improve jointly manufactured products.
Minister of Finance of Ukraine Sergii Marchenko and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Canada to Ukraine Natalka Cmoc signed the Agreement between Ukraine and Canada on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Customs Matters.
The document provides for the exchange of information on customs legislation and its application practices, the development of training and professional development programs, cooperation in organizing customs control, combating customs violations, and the involvement of international technical assistance.
