The Liberal government’s long-promised Indo-Pacific strategy will include new investments to strengthen the role the Canadian Armed Forces plays in the region, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday in Thailand.
The gathering had been sidetracked by the news that North Korea had launched a ballistic missile that landed near Japanese waters.
“Canada joins our allies in condemning in the strongest terms the continued, irresponsible actions of North Korea,” he said. “This will increase Canada’s presence here on the ground deepen diplomatic ties to build and maintain the important relationships that we are creating,” International Trade Minister Mary Ng said Friday.
“As the world moves towards net zero, there is enormous potential to grow our ties in the natural resources sector.” During a leaders’ session, Trudeau was seated between the heads of government of Brunei and Chile, as they were placed in alphabetical order of each country’s English name. This may have avoided another awkward encounter between Trudeau and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
