The world has changed, the foreign minister said on Friday, advocating new military investments.
“It is important that our soldiers are better equipped. It is important because the world has changed. And we have to be able to deal with new challenges,” she said Friday at the University of Toronto’s Global Affairs and Public Policy, reports the National Post.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has lasted for more than three weeks, has motivated the minister to increase the country’s military power.
“We take stock of what Germany has done, which has increased its military and defense budget. And in that sense, I think we need to work with the armed forces to make sure we are ready,” she said.
“NATO made sure that we reinforced the eastern flank,” Ms.me Pretty. Canada took the lead in ensuring that we would provide more forces and this is obviously a top priority for the government.”
Mme Joly added that NATO and Canada were ready to deal with any further Russian aggression.
