UN retracts that Canada to resume funding Palestinian agency
UN - The United Nations has retracted a statement saying Canada will resume contributing funds to the UN relief agency that aids and protects Palestinian refugees.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said late Wednesday that the UN statement on the meeting of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau welcoming the restart of funding for UNRWA was an early draft sent by mistake "that did not properly reflect" their discussion.
Ban met Trudeau for the first time since he took office in November, vowing more engagement in world affairs.
