The Canadian parliamentary delegation visiting Taiwan met with President Tsai Ing-wen Wednesday, committing to boost unity with the democratic ally and also to learn from its experience in pushing back against foreign interference from communist China.

Liberal MP John McKay, who led the ten-member cross-party delegation to Taiwan, expressed gratitude to Tsai for making time to meet with the group, saying that it’s a “very unusual” gesture from the president at a time when “another nation has been very aggressive towards your very existence,” which is a reference to China.
