Canada
Ottawa - Arab Today
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government on Friday committed 600 troops and police officers as well as Can$450 million over three years to United Nations peacekeeping operations around the world.
The "commitment to increase Canadian participation in UN peace operations and supporting its mediation efforts, preventing conflicts, and engaging in post-conflict reconstruction" will give Canada "a stronger voice on the world stage," Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion told a press conference.
A decision, however, has not yet been made about where to deploy the personnel, Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan added.
