Defence Minister Anita Anand says Canada is committed to the support of a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific, and is reinforcing its military presence in the region.
Speaking in Singapore at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual intergovernmental security conference, Anand announced Saturday that Canada will significantly enhance its military presence in the Indo-Pacific through Operation Horizon.
Anand said the new operation will replace the Indo-Pacific portion of Canada’s existing Operation Projection.
It sounds like a meager effort to regain favour with allies.
