Thank you for your question.
I'll start by highlighting that I went to China to recalibrate our relationship with the country. To do that, we need a forum where we can discuss tough issues. My counterpart and I talked about many of them, not just in relation to a strategic partnership, but also in relation to human rights.
I would add that Canada is deeply concerned by the systematic human rights violations. We will continue to stress the importance of human rights all over the world and to support the Uyghur people in China through diplomacy. We will also continue the work we started at the UN, through the UN Human Rights Council.
