Antonio Guterres and Canada

foreign policy: It just one of many countries that must help negotiate peaceful solutions to the ongoing wars across the globe and their ensuing — and escalating — refugee crises, Guterres said Friday at a foreign policy conference hosted by the Canada 2020 think-tank, according to Toronto Star. It is my deep belief that Canada is in a privileged position to play an important role in this regard, he said, citing the country membership in the G7, G20 and NATO as advantages. Antonio Guterres said Canada is now perceived as an honest broker and can play a leading role in bringing together warring factions to negotiate peace. But at the same time with your new foreign policy, I believe Canada has all the conditions to be perceived as an honest broker. The two-day conference is examining the new Liberal government foreign policy, which focuses on increasing Canada involvement in multilateral institutions such as the UN. But there has been an undercurrent of criticism of the policies of the former Conservative government, which bristled at the notion of Canada as an honest broker. Guterres, who stepped down last year after a decade as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said Canada can play a major role in helping resettle the world record number of displaced citizens.
