Canadian official: North Korea meeting seeks 'better ideas' to solve crisis - RTRS

Andrew Leslie, parliamentary secretary to the Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, told Reuters late on Wednesday, an international meeting in Canada on North Korea in January is called to produce “better ideas” to ease tensions over the North Korean nuke threats.

Leslie noted, “By discussing the various options out on the table, by listening to ... the local wisdom of the regions and especially (to those) who live a bit closer to Korea than we do, you can come up with some better ideas.”

Early on Wednesday, Canada’s Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that a planned meeting of foreign ministers to discuss the North Korean crisis will be scheduled to take place after the Christmas break in late December.
