International Counterparts: Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird: With the U.S. Congress scheduled to vote on a military strike against Syria, the ongoing bloodshed was threatening to overtake discussions at what is supposed to be an economic forum, according to Huffington Post. "The minister will be going to continue to engage with his counterparts on the situation in Syria," said Baird's spokesman Rick Roth and OTTAWA - Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird will join his international counterparts to discuss the deepening crisis in Syria, on the sidelines of the G20 summit this week in Russia. Having foreign ministers meet simultaneously as world leaders do in St. Petersburg could help to keep the core agenda on track and defuse a showdown between Russia and other countries.
