LONDON -- Visiting Europe on his first trip abroad as foreign affairs minister, Peter MacKay says he's eager to bring more focus to Canada's role in the world but it doesn't mean keeping a greater distance from the United States.
"This was not meant to be a slight to anyone," MacKay said Thursday in response to reporters asking whether there's a hidden message in his choice of destinations.
"It was simply one country had to come first. So here I am in the U.K.," he said after meeting British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.
"We are not dodging at all our relationship with the United States."
On Canada's place in the world, MacKay said: "What I would suggest is that we can play a more significant role."

Canada's new Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay is a very outstanding and remarkable person. I admire Peter MacKay and was absolutely delighted when Prime Minister Harper designated him as Foreign Affairs Minister.
Foreign Affairs Minister MacKay will truly make Canada proud !

Are you kidding me, Michael? MacKay is a double-crossing liar who cannot be trusted.
