Central News Agency (CNA) - Marie Louise Hannan, Representative of the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei, stated in an interview with CNA that Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy explicitly mentions Taiwan, and the overall framework for Canada-Taiwan interactions remains unchanged. When asked about Canada's focus on relations with China, she said Ottawa "talks to Taipei about Taipei" and continues to engage with Taipei in various fields. Hannan took office in September last year and was interviewed by CNA on June 29, her first interview with a Chinese-language media outlet since assuming her post. Since Canada released its Indo-Pacific Strategy in November 2022, Canada-Taiwan relations have deepened. Not only have Canadian warships transited the Taiwan Strait eight times, but the Canada-Taiwan "Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement" (FIPA) came into effect in 2024, and a "Memorandum of Understanding on Dark Vessel Detection Systems" is set to be signed in August 2025, with a closed-door maritime workshop already held. However, Canada-Taiwan relations faced challenges after Prime Minister Mark Carney took office in March 2025. Canadian Members of Parliament Helena Jaczek and Marie-France Lalonde cut short their visit to Taiwan on January 13, citing advice from the Canadian government. This occurred just before Carney's visit to Beijing, making him the first Canadian Prime Minister to visit China since 2017. Less than a month later, Taiwan's Representative to Canada, David Chen, mentioned in a foreign media interview that Taiwan and Canada had completed negotiations on a "Trade Cooperation Framework Agreement" (TCFA) as early as April 2025, but it has yet to be signed, urging Ottawa to show "courage" in its dealings with China. In response, Hannan stated that Canada maintains a positive approach to its interactions with Taiwan, and this has not changed. Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy explicitly mentions Taiwan, and Canada's One China policy has also not changed, ther
