countries. Relations were however cautious due to dissatisfaction of the Yugoslav side with the fact of right-wing nationalist and World War II revisionist Yugoslav Canadian emigration. In addition, while Canada was firmly entrenched with the Western Bloc, Yugoslavia promoted a policy of equidistance between superpowers and played a prominent role in development of the Non-Aligned Movement. Both Canada and Yugoslavia were among 51 original members of the United Nations.

was the second mission in the Balkans after the one in Athens, Greece. While Canada disagreed with Yugoslav official Marxist social framework the country still believed that Yugoslavia would respond favorably to Canadian initiatives in the United Nations where cooperation was developed. During the 1949 United Nations Security Council election Canada strongly advocated on behalf of Yugoslav candidacy.
