A productive meeting alongside NSA @qassimalaraji with Canada’s Ambassador to Baghdad @CanadainIraq. Discussions covered bilateral ties, regional security, diplomatic protection, and counterterrorism cooperation.

A great game to watch. In my case from Baghdad! Shame about the final score but that’s sport. Congrats #USAHockey!

@MattWalshBlog Congratulations to the US team. US goaltending was the best I’ve ever witnessed.

Hockey is the only sport Canadians play and they just lost to a country where hockey is basically a niche interest. That’s American exceptionalism for you. Congrats to our boys. Great game.

@WhiteHouse The US team played an amazing game. Goaltending was as good as I’ve ever seen in playing / watching hockey for decades. Congrats to #USAHockey.

One and the same 🇺🇸

A warm welcome from @IKRPresident and a very fruitful discussion. We will continue to build upon this outstanding relationship particularly in the commercial and economic realms.

WE'RE GOING TO THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES! #WANTITALL

Great to see you again Sir. Always a pleasure discussing our common interests and exploring ways in which we might further strengthen relations.

Met with Canadian Ambassador Christopher Boehm @CanadainIraq and we held fruitful discussions on regional developments and political dynamics. We agreed to deepen our bilateral economic and diplomatic ties and cooperation.

Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are holding significant Canadian-funded aid which has been blocked from delivery to starving civilians. This denial of humanitarian aid is a violation of international law. Canada calls on all sides to negotiate an immediate ceasefire in good faith. We reiterate our calls for Hamas to immediately release all the hostages, and for the Israeli government to respect the territorial integrity of the West Bank and Gaza.   Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians. Canada will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week.

Managed to finally get out to reunite with the family for a few days in amazing #Turkiye

Happy Canada in Baghdad! 👇🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.     While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.   Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

Pleasure to meet @Ammar_Alhakeem, Head of National Movement Party. Grateful for his insights on recent developments in Iraq and the region, the November elections and how our two countries can continue to strengthen our partnership. @CDBoehm @canadainiraq
