Canada’s authorities introduced new economic sanctions against Belarus. This is reported in a statement on the website of the Canadian government with reference to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country Mark Garno.
It is noted that the decision on new restrictions against Minsk was taken in response to gross and systematic violations of human rights in Belarus. “These new measures impose restrictions on the key sectors of the economy of Belarus and minimize the access of Belarusian state subjects to international finance,” the authorities statement said.
According to Reuters, Ottawa limitations are aimed at Belarusian securities and other money market tools, debt financing, insurance, as well as the sphere of oil industry and potash fertilizers.
