Noua axă a liberului schimb: Australia vizează o apropiere istorică de UE, urmând exemplul Canadei / "Împărtășim aceeași viziune"
Ursula von der Leyen proposed Canada to become an "associated member" of the EU, raising questions about Australia's potential similar status. The Australian trade minister expressed openness to exploring new agreements with the EU, following Canada's example. Australia aims to reduce its reliance on the US and China, having recently signed a free trade agreement with the EU. However, Australia must first implement this agreement before pursuing further negotiations with the EU.
