Melanie Joly deliberately sought out her Chinese counterpart on the sidelines of G20 meetings in New Delhi this week to stress the Canadian government’s displeasure over foreign meddling in its elections.
Their 20-minute encounter, her office confirmed, was the first since Qin Gang became China’s foreign affairs minister in December and comes as domestic pressure is also building on the Liberal government for more transparency around the extent of China’s efforts to meddle in Canadian politics.
“And they want a level of public accountability from those officials to be talking about everything that needs to be done and everything that continues to be done.” “Trudeau has claimed that he ‘respect[s] Parliament and the work done in committees,’” MP Michael Cooper said in a statement. According to a report in the Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua, Qin rejected the claims of any interference as groundless, and suggested the Canadian government needs to stop “rumours” from ruining diplomatic relations between the two countries.
