November 22, Pozirk. <\/em><\/strong>Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja will deliver a keynote address at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s (PA) annual session in Canada’s Montr\u00e9al, scheduled from November 22 to 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on X, the politician has also announced upcoming meetings with Canadian officials and the Belarusian community as well as her participation in the Halifax Security Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opposition leader will also join strategic consultations with Canada which she negotiated during her recent visit in mid-April. The process is based on the strategic dialogue with the United States, according to her aide Franak Via\u010dorka. Belarusian opposition focuses on sanctions against Minsk, human rights and media freedom in its relations with Canada, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the disputed 2020 presidential election, Canada, along with the United Kingdom, the European Union and the United States, introduced several sanction packages against Belarusian authorities. They range from restrictions on the Belarusian potash giant Bia\u0142aru\u015bkalij to the entry ban for Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s youngest son Mika\u0142aj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
