Canada pushing China to include Ukraine in talks with Russia to end war, Joly says
“We need to broaden the coalition of states with which we are engaging,” Joly said Friday. “It’s a question of international security.”She was speaking at a public discussion on multilateralism with Norwegian Foreign Affairs Minister Anniken Huitfeldt in Ottawa, hosted by the Global Centre for Pluralism.
“When I was in Ukraine, what I clearly heard from President Zelenskyy is that he hadn’t talked yet to Xi Jinping. So when I met with my Chinese counterpart, was clear in my ask,” she said. “We are taking money away from the humanitarian crises in other parts of the world, and they see that we focus more on Ukraine — which is natural, because this is our neighbourhood.”Huitfeldt added that Oslo prefers to be a neutral mediator, but Russia’s invasion presents a security risk to Norway, which is why the country made an exemption to rules that forbid exporting arms to countries in conflict.
