"As the only MP of Croatian heritage, it gives me great pleasure to welcome the president of Croatia to Hamilton, on the first state visit since the Republic of Croatia achieved independence," he said in a media release announcing the visit.

"Hamilton has a very active Croatian community that contributes greatly to making Hamilton such a great place to live."

Grabar-Kitarović started her visit to Canada in Ottawa Monday, planting a tree as a symbol of the strong relationship between the two countries.
