“Canada is not retreating” during a crisis, telling Anand United Nations

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Annette Anand, told the United Nations General Assembly on Monday that Canada will not move away from the challenges of an increasingly complex world.

Anand said in a speech that multilateral institutions are threatened, Canada will not turn inside.

“We will work towards a world in which prosperity is shared, security security and peace are permanent. This is Canada’s pledge in this era of geopolitical challenge and change.”

Anand also said that Canada wants to be part of the creation of a permanent peace between Israel and Palestine.

She said: “We support the partners in the region who continue their efforts to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, and contribute to the political processes that must be followed.” “Canada will participate in these operations in every possible way.”

Anand’s speech came before the news that US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to a plan to end the Hamas war and presented the deal to Hamas.

In an interview with the Canadian press after her speech, Anand said that Canada can try to sell a peace plan for her peers.

“There have been many talks with (Foreign Minister Marco) Rubio during the past week, about the way Canada could play a role in contributing to the peace process,” she said.

“The Secretary Rubio specifically asked me to help bring more and more countries besides.”

She said with Rubio regarding common concerns, such as ending the Haiti gangs crisis, ensuring permanent peace in Ukraine and “ensuring that Hamas has no role in the future rule of Palestine.”

Anand’s comments come a week after Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted that some are looking for Canada to be part of a force to help secure Gaza after the war ended.

“There are many proposals from a variety of Arab countries, a mixture of Arab countries and European countries, which will be Canada, if they will be transferred, in order to spread the multinational forces in Palestine, to impose peace,” Carney said on September 22.

Anand at the United Nations spoke on behalf of Canada instead of Carney, who was originally transferred to the green marble platform on Monday. Carney was listed on the July schedule, but was later removed.

Federal officials told the correspondents that this is that Carney had events in New York scheduled at the beginning of the annual level at the high -level level, and he would have to leave and then return to the speech of Canada.

Anand said that Ottawa has three priorities in its foreign policy, as it strengthens the first defense through the North America defense (North) and NATO.

The second priority is economic flexibility, with various supply chains and making Canada a “attractive destination for international capital”.

She said that Canada’s commercial deals in recent years in multi-country blocs and directly with countries such as Indonesia last week-aimed at forming a global commercial system based on bases being attacked.

Anand Washington or Beijing did not mention it as a role in eroding these systems.

“These are not just commercial agreements. These are bridges of flexibility, engines of prosperity and obligations towards the system based on the rules that benefit us all through pluralism,” she said.

The third priority includes the balance of other priorities with the basic values ​​that involve human rights, gender equality, environmental protection and indigenous population rights, especially in the Arctic.

Anand defended international agreements, including the 1951 Refugee Conference, which Washington wants to reform to obtain more restricted bases about who can demand asylum.

The Utawa Treaty, which has banned landmines in most countries, which many European countries adjacent to Russia now seek to leave, due to fears, Moscow will seek more land.

Its speech comes at a time when the United Nations faces serious discounts, due to the United States, which withdraws its financial support, just as developing countries call for more influence on agencies dominated by Western powers.

Anand, the Canadian press, told her comments about the refugee conference that was formulated before the United States publicly started pushing to reform global asylum rules.

She also praised the platform to the outgoing United Nations ambassador, Bob Ray, “who has provided life from the service allocated to our country (and) helped build these multilateral institutions,” which sparked applause from the room.

Ray will step down in mid -November five years after this role. he It is replaced by former Minister of Justice, David LamitiWho recently occupied the main secretary of Carne.
