During the visit to Canada, starting from November 19, the Ukrainian delegation holds a number of meetings with representatives of the political and military-political leadership, political elites, and business structures of the country.
Representatives of Ukraine will also discuss the security situation in Ukraine and the world with a delegation of the United States Senate and heads of state bodies of the countries participating in the forum.
In addition to the security situation near the Ukrainian borders, the meetings discuss the development of Ukraine’s cooperation with other countries in the field of security and defense and the issue of Ukrainian-Canadian cooperation in the development of the space industry.
Meetings are also scheduled with Canada’s top officials, National Defense Secretary Anita Anand, and Canadian Space Agency President Lisa Campbell, as the space industry is given special attention.
On November 19, a presentation and a solemn ceremony of the beginning of the space launch site construction took place. The project envisages the creation of a commercial spaceport for the Cyclone-4M launch vehicle on the Atlantic coast, in the province of Nova Scotia, developed and manufactured by the Ukrainian state-owned enterprises KB Pivdenne and VO Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant. The project will be implemented by the Canadian Maritime Launch Services Ltd company (MLS).
