ZAGREB, July 4 (Hina) - Croatian President Franjo Tudjman received on
Friday Canada's new Ambassador to Croatia, Donald Smith, who handed him
credentials.
Smith announced the Canadian Government would continue with Croatia
the constructive dialogue on international political and economic
issues, issues related to human rights, and Croatia's role in promoting
the peace process in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Progress in these issues would
enable the future development of relations between the two countries, he
stressed.
President Tudjman said Croatia was interested in the development of
friendly relations with Canada in all fields, because of Canada's
significant role in the international community, and because of a large
number of Croatian emigrants living in Canada, who contributed to
Canada's development, as well as to the establishment of democratic
Croatia.
Croatia's President said "democratic Croatia will continue to
contribute constructively to the solution of the crisis in the region."
Croatian officials also present at today's meeting were the
President's chief of staff Hrvoje Sarinic, Foreign Minister Mate Granic,
and the President's advisor for foreign affairs, Zeljko Matic.
