  The interaction between the hyperon and the nucleon is investigated in the
SU(3) Skyrme model. The static potential, which is expanded in terms of the
modified SU(3) rotation matrices, is obtained for several orientations with the
Atiyah-Manton ansatz. The interaction is calculated for the NN, \LambdaN, and
\SigmaN systems. The medium-range attraction of the central potential between
\Lambda and N is obtained by considering the \Lambda-\Sigma mixing through the
intermediate state.
