After apologizing for e-mail flirting with a Chinese news reporter, MP Bob Dechert stays intact and self-assured. According to Foreign affairs minister John Baird, his trust in parliamentary secretary Bob Dechert has not been broken by any of his recent declarations on personal account.

The Foreign Affairs minister says he has known Dechert for a quite some time now and he still trusts him, regardless of the flirtations between Dechert and a worker of a news agency associated with Chinese intelligence.

However, Baird denied giving any comments regarding the matter at hand.

Earlier on Friday, Tory MP, Bob Dechert, publically accepted and apologized for flirting with a Chinese journalist over internet. He told the media that he is just a friend of Shi Rong, chief Toronto correspondent for Xinhua, the official Chinese government news agency that is directly responsible to the governing Communist party. However, he owned up all the flirtatious emails sent to Rong through his email address.

Mr. Dechert officially tried to explain the emails and his relationship with Shi. He says: “The person is a journalist whom I have come to know as a friend. I met her while doing Chinese-language media communications… These e-mails are flirtatious, but the friendship remained innocent and simply that – a friendship. I apologize for any harm caused to anyone by this situation.”
