On the margins of the UN General Assembly, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya met with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. They last met in Ottawa a year ago. The Belarusian leader thanked Canada for its support and asked the Prime Minister to raise the issue of Belarus at the G7 summit.
“Canada has actively supported democratic forces since 2020. Thanks to Canadian assistance, human rights defenders have continued to collect evidence of the regime’s crimes, and a number of independent media outlets have resumed their work. We are very grateful for this help, but there is still much more we can do together”, Ms. Tsikhanouskaya noted after the meeting.
