The detention of Michael Kovrig has a “chilling effect” on engagement, statement warns.
By Emily Rauhala Emily Rauhala Staff writer covering Canada and foreign affairs Email Bio Follow March 11 at 11:57 AM A high-profile group of think tank leaders and scholars is calling for the release of a Canadian policy adviser being held in China, warning that his detention threatens U.S.-China relations at a critical moment.
“At this moment of testing for the bilateral relationship — defined by growing differences and suspicions between our governments — we believe these efforts and the partnerships we’ve built with counterparts in China over many years are more important than ever,” the statement said. “Canada appreciates the efforts by this group of leading international organizations to speak publicly in support of a Canadian citizen,” Adam Austen, a spokesman for Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, said in an email to The Washington Post.
Kovrig is a former diplomat who had worked since 2017 as an adviser for the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, conducting research on northeast Asia, including China, Japan and the Koreas.
