UE vrea relaţia "cea mai apropiată posibil" cu Canada, afirmă preşedintele Consiliului European - Economica.net

The European Union aims to strengthen its relationship with Canada, seeking to define future ties, as stated by European Council President Antonio Costa. Ursula von der Leyen recently proposed Canada as a potential 'associate member' of the EU, surprising many European governments. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney advocates for closer ties with Europe to reduce dependence on the U.S., especially amid trade disputes. Costa emphasized that while Canada cannot join the EU geographically, there are many areas for collaboration, including defense, security, and technology. The upcoming EU-Canada summit in Montreal is seen as a crucial moment for shaping future relations.
