Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne has announced the creation of an international working group of countries assembled to press the Iranian regime for a full and thorough investigation of the destruction of Flight PS752.

The group will be made up of representatives from countries whose citizens were passengers on the plane, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, Ukraine, Canada and Afghanistan. Iran also had citizens on the plane but it will not be part of the working group.

"Canadians can be rest assured that our government will continue to do everything it can," he said. 

Champagne said that officials with the group's member nations will talk and share information on a daily basis in an effort to confirm the cause of the crash.
