On 24 March 2023, the Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Montreal Eugene Czolij attended a reception on the occasion of the birthday of the Emperor of Japan at the invitation of the Consul General of Japan in Montreal Jun Saito.
During this event, Eugene Czolij thanked the Consul General of Japan for the visit of the Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kishida to Ukraine on 21 March 2023. He also underlined the importance of the Joint Statement on Special Global Partnership between Ukraine and Japan, in which Prime Minister Kishida stated that during its G7 Presidency “Japan would maintain the unity of the G7 in imposing strict sanctions against Russia and providing support to Ukraine, making use of international frameworks such as the G7+ Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on Ukraine Energy Sector Support and the Multi-agency Donor Coordination Platform for Ukraine”.
In addition, Eugene Czolij expressed his gratitude for Japan's assistance to Ukraine’s reconstruction, which has surpassed 7 billion dollars since 24 February 2022, and noted the appropriateness of the invitation for the President of Ukraine to participate in the next G7 Summit in Hiroshima during Japan's Presidency of the Group of Seven.
