Defence Minister Harjit S. Sajjan today ended a four-day trip to Europe, where he participated in the NATO Defence Ministerial, the Counter-ISIS Coalition Defence Ministers’ Meeting and the Munich Security Conference.

“The Munich Security Conference is an important opportunity to promote Canada’s contributions to enhancing international security, and to highlight our willingness to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex global environment. I look forward to continuing the discussions that took place this weekend when Canada hosts the 2017 United Nations Peacekeeping Ministerial.”
