Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has raised “serious concerns” over alleged Chinese interference in Canada in brief talks with China’s President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of this week’s Group of 20 meeting in Indonesia. The prime minister’s office said in a readout on Tuesday that the two leaders discussed North Korea and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while Trudeau “also raised our serious concerns around interference activities in Canada”.

Meanwhile, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly also met with her Chinese counterpart on Tuesday and raised concerns over the reports of interference in Canada’s internal affairs.
