A De Escalation Call in a Chaotic World Canada's Foreign Minister Anita Anand has made her voice clear on two pressing global issues: the escalating conflicts in the Middle East and the increasingly tense situation in the South China Sea.
Her calls for de escalation and respect for international law are welcome, but they also highlight the daunting challenges facing policymakers.
Anand's comments came as she met with Southeast Asian counterparts at an ASEAN meeting in Manila, where tensions between Philippine and Chinese vessels in the disputed waters have been escalating.
