Anita Anand: “Canada calls on Iran to de-escalate and respect international navigation rights.”

This is not an accident, this is not a side-effect of war. This is a systematic effort to separate Ukrainian children from Ukraine.

Canada is an open, pluralistic society, with a public square full of robust and civil debate. Our success is underpinned by this civility, by our democratic institutions and by respect for our differences," she said.

We have pledged to find Ukrainians who have been taken from their homes. We have pledged to bring them back, knowing that it can be dangerous, complex, difficult, but above all necessary.

This agreement is yet another reminder that North America and Europe are stronger together. And as a founding member of NATO, our commitment to the transatlantic alliance is ironclad," Anand said.
