Canada condemned on Sunday the attack on a ceremony in Afghanistan's capital Kabul earlier in the day.
"Canada strongly condemns the terrorist attack at today's ceremony in Kabul. This senseless act of violence injured and killed innocent Afghans," Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier said in a statement.
"This attack will not deter us in our support for the Afghan people, President Karzai, the Afghan government and parliamentarians," he said.
Bernier confirmed that there have been no reports of Canadian injuries in the attack, from which President Hamid Karzai escaped.
Canada's ambassador to Afghanistan Arif Lalani and other international representatives were also at the site when militants opened fire on them.
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack which killed three people, injuring 10 others.
