Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Marc Garneau and his UK counterpart Dominic Raab agreed that the two countries should advance cooperation on a number of human rights issues, including in China and Burma, also known as Myanmar.
According to a statement, Garneau had expressed Canada’s appreciation for the UK’s support for the two Canadians citizens—Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor—who have been arbitrarily detained by Chinese authorities for more than two years.
