Liberals to launch Indo-Pacific strategy this year, shaped by looming China assemblyOTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says she will release Canada's long-delayed Indo-Pacific strategy this year. She says the strategy will be shaped by a major meeting the Chinese government is holding in two weeks. Business leaders and former diplomats have been pushing the Trudeau government for months to outline Canada's friends, foes and priorities in the Indo-Pacific region. "I'll be coming up with our Indo-Pacific and China policy before the end of the year," Joly said in a Friday afternoon interview with the think tank. "We will be leading the way and that's why it's important to bring China along," she said.
