Minister Anand's conversation with the Secretary General of NATO

The recent incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace has significant implications, as it also constitutes an entry into NATO's airspace. This development has prompted a strong response from Canada, reaffirming its commitment to supporting its NATO allies and Ukraine. Minister Anand's conversation with the Secretary General of NATO underscored Canada's solidarity with its allies and its unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In a demonstration of Canada's strong stance on the matter, Minister Anand summoned the Russian Ambassador to deliver an official reprimand, emphasizing the need for Russia to respect the sovereignty and territorial boundaries of other nations. This move is consistent with Canada's long-standing position of supporting Ukraine in the face of ongoing aggression.

Canada's alignment with Ukraine is rooted in its commitment to upholding the principles of international law and respecting the sovereignty of all nations. The country remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine's right to self-determination and territorial integrity, and will continue to work with its NATO allies to address the ongoing security challenges in the region.

Through its actions and diplomatic engagements, Canada is sending a clear message that it will not tolerate any violation of NATO's airspace or the sovereignty of its allies. The country's strong stance on this issue reflects its unwavering commitment to regional and global security, and its determination to work collaboratively with its allies to address the complex security challenges of the 21st century.
