MacKay says no plans for Syria intervention

[CHIMO]

The memoranda of understanding Canada and Israel are working on should be signed in the next 30 days, Barak said. The agreements encompass defence co-operation, including information and technology sharing, as well as exchange programs for Canadian and Israeli military training.

MacKay said the agreements will "further build on a strong foundation of co-operation that will bring tangible results not just to our two militaries, but to Canada and Israel more broadly."

Barak said Israel appreciates Canada's support on the world stage.

"We highly appreciate the relationship and friendship with Canada and we always envy you having for your neighbours being the Americans, the big ocean and the Arctic," he said.
