Canada boosts Arctic security with new funding and diplomatic initiatives against Russia and China

The Canadian government is increasing its focus on Arctic security due to concerns over Russia and China. It will invest $34.7 million over five years, appoint an "Arctic ambassador," and open consulates in Alaska and Greenland. The new Arctic strategy includes talks with the U.S. and Nordic allies on security, sharing information on foreign interference, and negotiating boundaries with the U.S. and Denmark. The strategy highlights evolving threats, including military activities by Russia and China in the region. Canada plans to enhance its military presence in the Arctic with new ships, aircraft, and radar systems. The government aims to improve infrastructure and engage international partners for investment in the Arctic.
