Days after China staged military drills for a possible invasion of Taiwan, a group of Canadian lawmakers delivered a strong message of support to the island’s President, Tsai Ing-wen.

Speaking alongside Ms. Tsai in Taipei Wednesday, Liberal MP John McKay said the cross-party delegation’s trip to Taiwan this week was “testimony to the concern that Canada has for the ongoing viability of Taiwan.”

“Taiwan’s issues are Canada’s issues, and Canada’s issues are Taiwan’s issues,” Mr. McKay said.

The Indo-Pacific strategy is "the biggest foreign policy shift in Canada in many, many decades," McKay said, and is focused on security, trade, people-to-people exchanges, climate change mitigation and diplomacy. Under the plan, which involves 15 government departments, Canada will invest 2.3 billion Canadian dollars ($1.7 billion) over the five years from 2022 to develop infrastructure and reduce damage from climate change.

"The Indo-Pacific strategy will give Canada more credibility in the region to deal with the world's second-largest economy on all those fronts," McKay told Nikkei Asia.

Canada is also seeking to join the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, part of the country's commitment to maintaining fair trade and secure supply chains.
