Europe is not the only fault line in global security amid Russia’s ongoing attacks against Ukraine, warns Defence Minister Anita Anand, while also emphasizing the need to address the threats from China’s “assertive activities.”

Speaking at the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence on March 11, Anand said that the war in Ukraine presents consequences for the rules-based international order and that such a global security threat also impacts Canada and its North American allies and multilateral partnerships.
