The annual dialogue on human rights between Canada and China was held in Beijing in November
2002. The Canadian delegate for the human-rights dialogue, consisting of officials from the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs and Canadian International Development Agency, discussed with Chinese officials
on human rights issues in a broad scale during the dialogue. In particular, they brought up the
issue of the persecution of Falun Gong, and expressed grave concerns over the suppression of
religious freedom by the Chinese authorities.
The Canadian representatives stated pointedly: Contrary to what China believes, Falun Gong
practitioners can practice in Canada freely.
