Ottawa, 28 August 2021 (TDI): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a statement following fatal attacks near the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Trudeau strongly condemned the terrorist assaults that occurred earlier today near Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport.

Canada, as one of its closest allies, joins the United States in mourning its loss. Canada expressed its sympathies to the victims’ families and loved ones. Canada wishes fast recovery to the injured.
“As the situation on the ground continues to evolve, we will keep working with our international and local partners to support humanitarian efforts, fight terrorism, and ensure those who want to leave Afghanistan can do so safely. All Afghan people deserve to live in dignity, peace, and security. Canada expects any future government of Afghanistan to fulfill its obligations to uphold the human rights of all its citizens, as required by international law.
