MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he directly raised human-rights concerns with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte \u2014 including extrajudicial killings carried out by security forces in his country.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters in Manila after a summit of Southeast Asian countries, Trudeau says he told Duterte about the need for the rule of law in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

He says he also offered Canada’s support, as a friend, to help the Philippines move forward.<\/p>\n

Duterte’s violent crackdown on drug dealers and drug users by his government’s forces have left thousands dead.<\/p>\n

Trudeau says Duterte was receptive to his comments during what he describes as a very cordial and positive exchange.<\/p>\n

The prime minister met briefly with Duterte before he delivered a speech to members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in a bid for Canada to eventually join its exclusive, influential circles that focus on security in the Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n

For several years, Canada has been working to forge closer ties with ASEAN, including its East Asia Summit security grouping that includes leaders of the U.S., China and Russia.<\/p>\n

The Canadian government asked the Philippines for an invitation to ASEAN and a working luncheon before this year’s East Asia Summit. It’s unclear how long it will take Canada to obtain a more-permanent status within ASEAN.<\/p>\n

Even though Duterte helped Canada get a seat at a table, Trudeau said he still brought up concerns with the Philippine president.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I mentioned to President Duterte, we’re concerned with human rights, with the extrajudicial killings,\u201d Trudeau said at a news conference that closed his eight-day trip to the Philippines and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

\u201cCountries around the world know that when you engage with Canada you will hear about human-rights concerns and we are the first to mention that we are not perfect, either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trudeau said Indigenous peoples in Canada have suffered \u201cneglect, marginalization and mistreatment\u201d for centuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
