Thank you.
Major-General, recently the world, certainly from the western perspective, watched with some trepidation when China's president hosted Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un at a major military parade. Much has been said about that, but I would be very interested in hearing, from your perspective, what the strategic significance is of this trilateral show of alignment and how Canada and its allies should interpret the signals it sends for global security, particularly in the Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic regions.
