July 11, 2015 – Ottawa, Ontario – Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada
The Honourable Rob Nicholson, P.C., Q.C., M.P. for Niagara Falls, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today issued the following statement:
“Canada condemns the cowardly terrorist attack in downtown Cairo this morning, reportedly claimed by a group linked to ISIS. Canada stands firmly with Egypt in its fight against terror. ISIS will not succeed in destabilizing Egypt.
“We welcome the cooperation between Afghan intelligence and the U.S. military that has struck a severe blow to the top leadership of a group affiliated with ISIS in Afghanistan.
“It is clear that the terrorism threat is real. That is why Canada will continue to stand by the governments of Afghanistan and Egypt, and other affected countries, to combat the growing threat of terrorism in all its forms in order to bring peace, stability and prosperity to the region and its people.”
