Summary
Two Canadian warship deployments to the Indo-Pacific are planned for this year, Defense Minister David McGuinty said, marking a stepped-up military presence in the region.
Canada is using the missions to deepen defense ties with Japan, South Korea and the Philippines while reinforcing its role alongside regional allies.
McGuinty said Ottawa is also managing its relationship with China "with discipline," underscoring a strategy that pairs stronger security engagement with efforts to build closer trade relations.
