Summary
Mark Carney said Canada and France will use a new general security of information agreement to exchange classified material tied to defence, space, AI and aerospace.
The pact is meant to deepen defence and industrial co-operation, with Carney and Emmanuel Macron also set to discuss trade, defence and security in a closed-door Paris meeting.
Macron called Canada a friend to Europe and France as the leaders met at the Élysée Palace ahead of next week’s G7 summit.
France, this year’s G7 host, has said the summit will focus on major geopolitical crises, support for Ukraine and protecting children online.
