Ottawa: Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault will travel to China on a diplomatic mission later this month, even as politicians in Ottawa continue to negotiate a public inquiry into alleged foreign interference.
Guilbeault will be in Beijing from August 26th to 31st in what will be the first official visit of a Canadian cabinet minister to China since 2018.
A spokesperson for Guilbeault says the world is faced with the “triple crisis” of climate change, pollution and biodiversity, which can only be handled through urgent international co-operation. — Canadian Press
