Ottawa’s long-awaited Indo-Pacific strategy will call out China as an increasingly disruptive global power, in a reversal of the government’s previous policy of avoiding confrontation with the world’s second-largest economy.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will outline the broad themes of the government’s new strategy in a major speech to be delivered in Toronto on Wednesday to the Asia Pacific Foundation and the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. An advance copy of the speech was provided exclusively to The Globe and Mail.
