International law is clear that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal. This is the position of the international community reaffirmed by the United Nations Security Council.

It is unacceptable the Israeli military did not pursue a criminal investigation into the death of Flickinger and his colleagues.

Serious failures were identified in the conduct of the strike, and closing the case without further accountability leaves their families without the answers they have sought for more than two years.

I highlighted that Canada will continue to engage constructively with the United States on trade and to strengthen our economic relationship.

Canada calls on Iran to de-escalate and respect international navigation rights.

Freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is essential to global trade and energy security. Today’s sanctions target individuals whose actions undermine these principles and threaten global economic and energy security.

This reflects the growing importance of our bilateral relationship and Canada's commitment to strengthening ties with West Africa in general.

The underlying way in which these private sector links will grow is through Canadian companies operating across the African continent, showing by example that it is profitable to be here.

My whole team with me on this trip are women. Every single person.

There is a definite aspect to supporting the strength of women in the workforces here.

This is what we call the trade-development nexus. It is not one or the other, it is not silos.

Côte d'Ivoire is a country that has priority standing in our Africa strategy.

It can make a practical difference, but the ask has to be made, and we are making the asks.

Our foreign policy has taken a significant shift from previous iterations of Canada’s foreign policy, owing to the geopolitical environment in which we’re operating, and a ruptured economic order.

Diplomacy can make a difference.

I have asked our diplomats to do, and in fact what I am doing myself, is to say wherever we are in the world, let’s ensure that we’re advocating for Canadian commercial interests.

We have what the world wants.

I have to ensure that we’re still prepared and servicing relationships that have had less attention than is ideal.

It is diplomacy like Canada has not done before, in the recent past.

This is a new way of doing diplomacy.

Certainly, it reflects a changed foreign policy.

The ICC, in our view, should not be politicized and Canada, as a founding member of the ICC, will continue to be a strong supporter.

The three North American countries will work together on autos and other difficult trade issues.

A concrete measure is being here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today in the middle of attacks that are occurring in the Strait of Hormuz.
