kungfusion Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Just a few questions regarding international relation I want to ask 1) What's our stand in Taiwan and China's relationship? 2) What's our status in Common Wealth? 3) How is G8 meeting going to impact Canada's economy 4) Are we aligning with Israel like US does or do we have Arabic allies? (e.g. Egypt) 5) How much weight does Canada carry in UN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Canadian Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Well, some of these questions may be better asked in the "The Rest of the World" section. Off the top of my head (without looking anything up, so I may be wrong) here are a couple of opinions. 1)PM Trudeau stated Canada's position as a 1 China policy, which was reaffirmed by PM Chretien. 2)I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here. We are one of 2 G-8 nations in the Commonwealth, along with the UK. This link tells of Canada's special place in the history of the Commonwealth. 3)Don't know 4)We were, more or less, but in the last few years we have, as I understand it, been pushing for more cooperation with the Palestinians and have been calling on Israel to stop a lot of it's policies. In the UN for example, we used to vote in favour of Israel, but lately have been for sanctioning some of their activities. 5)How much weight do anyone carry at the UN besides the 5 Permanent Security Council members? I think Canada has a valued place at the UN in regards to diplomatic endeavours. We only have to look at the recent Iraq deliberations, where Canada was trying to broker a deal between the US/UK and other nations. I'm willing to be corrected on any of this, as I may be way off base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
