Carney welcomes Norwegian PM to Ottawa to discuss Arctic security, energy
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store met in Ottawa today to discuss Arctic security and energy cooperation. Carney is seeking to strengthen ties with Europe, particularly by exploring the possibility of Norway's "associate membership" in the EU. While Norway is not an EU member, the two countries have had a deal since the 1990s that grants free access to each other's markets for goods and services, as well as access to most EU programs.
During their previous meeting in March, Carney and Store pledged to advance collaboration in areas such as Arctic security, space, critical minerals, and energy.
