"Canada has a keen interest in building a region that is stable, that is balanced," said Anita Anand, Canada's defence minister. "What does this mean? It means an Indo-Pacific where international rules and norms prevail and all actors engage responsibly, an Indo-Pacific where disputes are resolved peacefully, and ultimately an Indo-Pacific that is free, that is open and that is inclusive.
"As the old adage goes, good fences make good neighbours," Galvez said. "It is only when neighbours have clear boundaries and respect for set boundaries that relations remain genuinely amicable." Ben Wallace, Britain's defence minister, said his country would continue its Indo-Pacific "tilt," and noted that NATO's presence in Asia was not out of line considering that Russia "has been quite aggressive in this region ... it still retains quite a large naval fleet".
