D.C. conference to assess Ukraine's prospects for integration into Euro-Atlantic community

NEW YORK - Averitable "who's who" of foreign policy leaders from the United States, Ukraine, the European Union and NATO will gather in Washington on October 8-9 to evaluate Ukraine's prospects for eventual integration into the structures of the Euro-Atlantic community.

Over 70 government leaders, international foreign policy experts and prominent figures from research centers and academia are slated to participate at the third annual "Ukraine's Quest for Mature Nation Statehood" roundtable series.

The subject of Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic future has been broached on a theoretical level at the conference's two predecessors: Roundtables I and II. Roundtable III on"Ukraine and the Euro-Altantic Community" will take into account Ukraine's efforts to move matters from theory to practice, as exemplified by its firm backing of the U.S.-led struggle against global terrorism, its various probes to stimulate serious discussion concerning its entry into the European Union, and its formal request, announced on May 24, to be considered a candidate for NATO membership.

The two-day conference, which will be held at the JW Marriott on Pennsylvania Avenue in the heart of the nation's capital, will feature 12 panels, held during the course of four regular sessions, two working luncheons and four special focus sessions.

Additionally, Roundtable III will play host to two evening receptions - including a celebration dedicated to marking a special event for the Ukrainian American community, the 25th anniversary of the Ukrainian National Information Service.

For attendance information, please contact the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America at (212) 228-6840.
