That is why we were so disappointed when India violated the Vienna Convention and arbitrarily revoked the diplomatic immunity of over 40 Canadian diplomats in India. "

This is a cause of concern for countries around the world because if a given country can decide that their diplomats from another country are no longer protected, it makes international relations more dangerous and more serious.
