France and Canada pledge to boost bilateral cooperation
France and Canada have vowed to strengthen ties and expand cooperation to address rising geopolitical challenges and the impacts of climate change.
French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not Mark Carney, announced deeper cooperation between their countries in many areas. They made the announcement on Sunday from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a small French territory just off the Atlantic coast of Canada.
The two leaders discussed and agreed to deepen cooperation in various areas, including defense, energy, business, space, and advanced technologies such as quantum computing, satellites, and supercomputing. According to Free Malaysia Today, they also agreed to work together on fishing, security, and energy.
Macron was quoted by DW News and Free Malaysia Today as saying, “We both believe that our countries are two great, independent nations who want to remain so.” The meeting between Macron and Trudeau follows up on Trudeau's visit to Brussels, during which the EU offered Canada "associate member" status, according to DW News and DW English.
