Canada’s ambassador meets with second detainee, Michael Spavor, in China
OTTAWA — China has now granted Canada access to both of its recently arrested citizens — a move one former Canadian consular official sees as an encouraging sign.
In a statement, Global Affairs Canada said John McCallum, Canada’s ambassador to China, met with entrepreneur Michael Spavor on Sunday.
On Friday, McCallum saw detainee Michael Kovrig, who is on a leave of absence from Global Affairs.
Both men are being held for allegedly endangering China’s national security.
