Canada holds first defence co-ordination talks with China in more than eight years

Canada has resumed military coordination talks with China after an eight-year hiatus, marking a significant step in improving bilateral relations. The 'defence coordination dialogue' took place on September 4, as announced by China's Ministry of National Defense, but the Canadian government did not issue any official statement regarding the meeting. The discussion focused on international and regional issues of mutual interest, with both sides expressing a desire to enhance military cooperation and mutual understanding. This development comes amid Canada's efforts to balance its relationships with the United States and China, particularly in light of tensions related to trade and diplomatic disputes involving detained Canadians. Experts suggest that the resumption of these talks may reflect Canada's strategic approach to engage with China despite concerns over its growing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region.
