Canada's Defence Minister Anita Anand speaks during an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the 19th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore June 11, 2022. REUTERS/Caroline ChiaSINGAPORE, June 11 - Canada believes China showed "very concerning and unprofessional" behaviour while harassing its patrol aircraft near North Korea, Defence Minister Anita Anand said on Saturday, but she declined comment when asked whether she had raised the issue with her Chinese counterpart.
Canada's military accused Chinese warplanes this month of harassing its patrol aircraft as they monitored North Korea sanction evasions, sometimes forcing Canadian planes to divert from their flight paths.China's defence ministry said Canadian military jets have stepped up reconnaissance and "provocations" against China "under the pretext" of implementing U.N. Security Council resolutions, endangering China's national security.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told the meeting earlier on Saturday that there had been an "alarming" increase in the number of unsafe and unprofessional encounters between Chinese planes and vessels with those of other countries.Anand also reiterated Canada's commitment to "stand shoulder-to-shoulder" with Ukraine and keep it supplied with the military, economic and humanitarian aid it needs.
