Canada and Turkiye sign defense partnership agreement during Carney visit
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Thursday to announce a new strategic partnership.
Defense cooperation agreement signed
The two leaders signed a memorandum of understanding on defense industry partnerships earlier during their talks. They plan to explore opportunities to expand collaboration in this sector alongside energy and transportation projects.
Trade targets set for future
Erdogan stated that Ankara and Ottawa prepare to launch free trade talks aimed at raising bilateral trade to $10 billion. This goal follows a period where Turkiye accounted for less than 0.3 percent of Canada's total merchandise trade.
Visit aims to diversify exports
Carney is on a global trade blitz hoping to buffer Canada from a trade war with the United States. The Canadian Prime Minister seeks to deepen trade with other middle powers while establishing new nuclear power plants and mining sector links.
