Just out from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade:
CANADA EXPELS SUDANESE DIPLOMAT
The Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced that Canada has decided to expel a diplomat from the Embassy of Sudan in Ottawa in response to the Government of Sudan’s unwarranted expulsion of Canada’s chargé d’affaires:“Canada considers the expulsion of our chargé d’affaires to be entirely unjustified. Wherever they are posted, Canada’s diplomats will continue to work to uphold Canadian values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.”
Earlier this month, Sudan had kicked out Canada’s top diplomat in that country.
