German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck on Sunday flew on a three-day visit to Canada. Although, the purpose of the visit as informed will be energy talks. But the visit by the two is said to be very crucial amid the Ukraine-Russia war and challenges from China.
However, their main goal during their three-day visit is to deepen cooperation between the two countries in the climate and energy sectors, dpa news agency reported. Their talks with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are also due to focus on political, economic, and military support for Ukraine’s battles against Russia, and on dealings with China.
