Canada warns about high risk of conflict in space

Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair has said that the risk of conflict in space is very high.

“Canada must be strong in this sphere in case of a threat to its interests,” Blair said at the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue 2024 event in Singapore, Gazeta.ru reports.

“We all rely on space technologies, and the possibility for conflict in this sector is very high. My recent renewed military strategy covered this issue. We increased investments and established a space council. We understand that we must be strong in space, as well as everywhere. We understand that our interests may be jeopardised,” the minister said.
