Washington, Dec 22 (IBNS): The United States on Friday said Canada is conducting a 'fair, unbiased, and transparent legal proceeding' with respect to Meng Wanzhou, the Chief Financial Officer of Huawei.

"Canada respects its international legal commitments by honoring its extradition treaty with the United States," US State Department said in a statement.

"We share Canada’s commitment to the rule of law as fundamental to all free societies, and we will defend and uphold this principle. We also express our deep concern for the Chinese Government’s detention of two Canadians earlier this month and call for their immediate release," it said.

Wanzhou was arrested on Dec 1 as per the requests of the US authorities.

The US claimed that Meng had misled multinational banks over Iran-linked transactions. It also said the CEO had kept the banks in risk of violating US sanctions.

Though Meng was granted a bail, she can still be extradited to the US.

A Canadian government official as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said there is no reason to think that the recent incident of detention is linked to the arrests of Kovrig and Spavor.
