Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron have agreed to strengthen defence, industrial and technology cooperation, including a new arrangement to facilitate the exchange of classified information across defence, space, artificial intelligence and aerospace sectors.
The agreement was announced during talks in Paris ahead of the G7 Summit, as Canada continues efforts to expand economic and security partnerships with Europe.
Key developments:
- Canada and France signed a framework to improve classified information-sharing.
- Cooperation will focus on defence, AI, aerospace and space industries.
- Discussions also covered trade diversification, investment and security challenges.
- The meeting forms part of Canada’s broader strategy to deepen ties with European partners.
Carney said Canada, France and Europe could become “a powerful force for good” in the years ahead, while Macron highlighted shared concerns over geopolitical instability, economic coercion and information warfare.
