Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
This week, the minister met with his German counterpart and discussed pressing global challenges, such as the fight against ISIL, mass migration, and the situation in Ukraine.
In Turkey, the minister participated in the High Level Partnership Forum on Somalia, where Canada received much praise from the President of Turkey for Canada's engagement in the Syrian refugee crisis.
Our international partners regard Canada, under this government, as a strong ally, a partner, and a friend.
