Global Affairs Canada says detained Canadian businessman Michael Spavor received a visit from consular officials in China today.
The visit comes a day after former diplomat Michael Kovrig was also paid a visit by Canadian officials.
Both have been granted five visits each with consular officials since being detained, but this week's meetings are the first to take place since an anonymous report in Chinese state media accused them of conspiring to steal Chinese state secrets. About a month after they were arrested, Global Affairs warned Canadians travelling to China to do so with a "high degree of caution" because of the arbitrary application of local laws.
Canadian officials have complained the two men are being held in retaliation for the December arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who is facing a U.S. extradition request.
