Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand will travel to China, India, and Singapore from Oct. 12 to 17 to “advance bilateral relations and cooperation” with the three countries as part of Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, Global Affairs says.
Global Affairs announced the trip on Oct. 10, detailing the officials Anand will meet in each country and the objectives of her visit in each location. The trip comes as Canada and India work to improve their strained relationship, and amid ongoing trade tensions with Beijing. Anand said in July that Canada’s relationships in the Indo-Pacific would move toward a greater economic focus.
