A meeting between Ukrainian and U.S. presidents Viktor Yushchenko and Barack Obama remains on the agenda for the future, Ukraine's Acting Foreign Minister Volodymyr Khandohiy has said.
He told reporters in New York on Wednesday that a meeting had not
been planned for the Ukrainian president’s current visit to the United
States to attend the 64th session of the UN General Assembly.
“A meeting with Obama was not planned,” Khandohiy said.
He said that Obama usually holds no bilateral meetings at the UN
General Assembly, except extremely important ones that concern global
issues.
He said that around 79 presidents had arrived in the United States
to attend the session, and added that “it would not be quite
appropriate to give preferences to some of them.”
Khandohiy also said that “Yushchenko would have a short meeting with the U.S. president” at a reception late on Wednesday.
