Canada continues to closely monitor the ongoing violence in Ethiopia and is deeply concerned by the risk of regional escalation. We call for the de-escalation of inflammatory cross-border rhetoric and a return to diplomatic dialogue.

Canada strongly condemns the recent strikes impacting commercial vessels in the Black Sea near Romania and Bulgaria. Our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives and all those affected.

Commitments matter when they lead to action. Following the Toronto conference, Canada, Ukraine, Norway and international partners are working to support those who return, reunite families and help people rebuild their lives. #StandWithUkraine #BringKidsBack
