Prime Minister to visit Washington
February 3, 1997
Ottawa, Ontario
In response to an invitation from President Clinton, Prime Minister
Jean Chrétien will make his first official visit to Washington
from April 7 to 9.
The Prime Minister and the President intend to discuss a wide
range of bilateral and international issues, focusing on how our
exceptionally close and intricate ties can be deepened as we approach
the next century. The Canada-United States economic relationship
is the most active in the world, with two-way trade of approximately
one billion dollars a day and one hundred million Canadians and
Americans crossing the border each year.
President Clinton visited Ottawa in February 1995. Prime Minister
Chrétien and the President have met on several other occasions,
most recently at the November 1996 APEC Leaders' Meeting.
