Klimkin plans meeting all candidates in French presidential election, including Le Pen KYIV. Feb 10 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine's Foreign Ministry head Pavlo Klimkin plans in March 2017 to meet with all candidates running in France's presidential election, including with the leader of the French ultra-right party headed by Marine Le Pen. Ukrainian diplomats say they are considering all possible scenarios of the French elections. "I believe deeply in the traditional democratic traditions and ideals of France. … As foreign minister I must take into account all possible outcomes. We are working on scenarios," Klimkin said during a talk show, titled "Right to Power," aired by the Kyiv-based TV Channel 1+1. Klimkin said foreign ministry envoys are working with various campaign party headquarters and parties in France, as well as with journalists. "I will be in France at least twice in March. A meeting has been organized with Marin Le Pen. I will show her information that we have prepared, including about Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and our case [against the Russian Federation] for violations of the convention on racial discrimination," Klimkin said.
