Internationale Politik: Frankreich und Kanada bauen Zusammenarbeit aus
Auf einem kleinen französischen Überseegebiet nahe Kanada zeigen Macron und Carney sich geeint. Man teile eine Weltsicht und Werte - und wolle die Kooperation in schwierigen Zeiten verstärken.
France and Canada are seeking to deepen their cooperation in energy and security matters, according to a statement made by French President Emmanuel Macron following a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, an overseas French territory located off the coast of Canada. The two nations aim to work together on energy deliveries, control fuel prices, and enhance their independence as separate countries.
Macron emphasized that both nations consider themselves as two large independent states and wish to maintain that status. Canadian liquefied gas projects could play a significant role in this cooperation and are crucial for Europe. Additionally, the leaders agreed on increased collaboration in climate resilience, telecommunications, space, and defense sectors, with joint infrastructure and shared resources being developed.
Canadian Prime Minister Carney highlighted that their societies have recently been shaken by storms and face issues such as the erosion of democratic norms and new threats to sovereignty. He noted that the two nations are just a few kilometers apart at their closest point, emphasizing the strong alignment of their values.
