The beginning of 2000 has seen a significant development of relations between NATO and Ukraine.
Ukraine has recently been the host to the first NATO-Ukraine Commission ever to have been held on Ukrainian soil. This symbolic event has been a catalyst for further developments. The Ukrainian Parliament -the Verkhovna Rada- has ratified the agreement with NATO concerning the presence of foreign troops on Ukrainian territory during Partnership for Peace exercises. It has also ratified the Open Skies Treaty which allows signatories to carry out flights over each other's territory.
Other NATO-Ukraine activities are being developed such as cooperation in the fields of Civil Emergency Planning and disaster relief.
Defence reform has become a priority since Ukraine is working toward a professional army. In this respect, NATO is engaging in a series of initiatives within the Joint Working Group on Defence Reform. Recently, an international conference was held in Kyiv on "Ukrainian Defence Reform: the Challenge of Change". It was jointly organised by NATO and the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies, Lancaster University, United Kingdom.
