Canada reimposes sanctions on 11 Iranian entities for contributing to nuclear activities ctvnews.ca/world/mideast-con…

Canada is targeting the people and companies behind the missiles Putin fires at Ukrainian cities. Today at the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Paris, we announced sanctions on 38 entities and 24 individuals.
Those listed include ballistic missile developers, actors involved in Russian cyber operations and cryptocurrency exchanges that help finance the war. We will keep raising the cost of Russia’s aggression until it ends its attacks and respects Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Le Canada annonce des sanctions supplémentaires contre la Russie

The most effective way to counter Russian missiles is to prevent Russia from producing them in the first place.
Canada’s latest sanctions against 38 entities and 24 individuals take aim at the technologies, industries, and financial channels that enable Moscow to manufacture weapons and sustain its aggression. This is precisely where international pressure can make a tangible difference.
We need to move from responding to the consequences of Russian attacks to systematically dismantling Russia’s capacity to carry them out. Every disrupted supply chain and every blocked financial channel matters for the safety of civilians.
Thank you, dear @AnitaAnandMP, for your leadership and this important decision. Canada continues to demonstrate that meaningful support for Ukraine includes making Russia’s aggression increasingly difficult to sustain.

“Canada remains committed to ensuring that sport is not used to confer legitimacy, prestige or international standing on [Russia and Belarus], particularly against the risk that Russian and Belarusian participation in international sporting events becomes more normalised.” -Anand

“Canada’s position is unequivocal: as long as Russia continues its war of aggression against Ukraine, there can be no return to business as usual. Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine.”

Grateful to our Canadian friends for reminding Moscow that there is no impunity on ice.
Moscow still believes it can hide its crimes behind a hockey jersey and that an ice rink can restore its battered reputation.
Russia’s constant and deliberate attacks on Ukraine make headlines every day, reminding the world why international tournaments cannot become a back door for Moscow’s return to global respectability.
Canada has shown how to keep that back door firmly shut, including through concrete visa measures. The puck is now in the other hockey nations’ zone and we call on them to follow Canada’s lead.
Special thanks to Minister @AnitaAnandMP, Minister Lena Metlege Diab, and @Adamvankoeverden for their principled stance and leadership.

Canada’s future will be shaped by the international partnerships we build now.
From Montréal to Atlanta and now Antigua and Barbuda, this has been a consequential week for Canadian diplomacy. Across every engagement, our focus remains on strengthening our sovereignty, deepening trusted partnerships and building an economy that can withstand global uncertainty.
That is how we give Canada greater freedom to chart its own course and create lasting prosperity for Canadians.

Today, I spoke with Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister @VarsenAghShanin, about developments in the West Bank and the broader situation facing Palestinians. I reiterated Canada’s disappointment with the postponement of Palestinian legislative and presidential elections, and stressed the importance of a clear path forward on democratic accountability and meaningful reform.
We also discussed continued violence and restrictions in the West Bank, including the rise in settler violence, and the importance of ensuring humanitarian assistance reaches Palestinians in need.
Canada will continue to support efforts to advance peace, stability and security for both Palestinians and Israelis.

Australia, Canada and the UK are close friends and trusted partners, with much to gain from working together.
Together with @Ed_Miliband and @AnitaAnandMP, we spoke about how our countries can deepen cooperation on security, economic resilience and the global challenges we face.
