OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canadian diplomats were granted consular access on Sunday to the second of two men detained by China over the past week, the foreign ministry announced in a statement that gave few details.
Canadian Ambassador John McCallum met Michael Spavor, the statement said. Spavor and Michael Kovrig were both picked up after Canada arrested a senior Chinese executive on a U.S. extradition request.
