Canada’s Governor General Michaelle Jean will travel to Slovenia and Croatia this month to celebrate their integration into NATO, and to Greece for an Olympic torch ceremony, her office said Wednesday. Jean is to make an official visit to Slovenia from October 21 to 22, to Croatia thereafter until October 27, and finally to Greece from October 29 to 31.
In Slovenia, she is to “recognize that country’s efforts towards democratization and to celebrate its integration into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union,” said a statement.
During her state visit to Croatia, Jean will commend the country’s recent membership in NATO, “as well as the proactive and exemplary role Croat officials are playing in promoting security in the region and elsewhere.”
In Greece, Jean is to attend a ceremony in which the Olympic flame will be passed to organizers of next year’s Winter Games in Vancouver.
