Canada has been granted consular access to Michael Kovrig, a Canadian ex-diplomat detained in China last week, the Canadian government said in an email statement to Caixin Friday.

Canada’s Ambassador to China, John McCallum, met with Kovrig in Beijing, according to the statement from Global Affairs Canada. Consular officials will continue to provide consular services to him and will continue to seek further access to Kovrig, the Canadian government said.

The department didn’t provide more details about the visit, citing privacy laws. Canada continues to press for consular access to Michael Spavor, another Canadian detained in China earlier this week, according to the statement.

Kovrig, an employee of the nongovernmental organization Crisis Group International, was detained Dec. 10 on allegations of violating China’s national security.

Spavor, a Canadian whose company takes tourists and hockey players into North Korea, is also under investigation as part of a national security case, Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper reported.
