Candu Attitude: Carney Pegs ‘Good Chances’ on Canadian Bid for Turkey Nuclear Plant
Carney said AtkinsRealis has better odds for the tender as Canada and Turkey expanded cooperation on energy, trade, defence and security.
- On Friday in Istanbul, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said engineering firm AtkinsRealis has "good chances" of supplying Turkey's third nuclear power plant.
- Canada and Turkey upgraded relations to a "strategic partnership" on Thursday during the first bilateral visit by a Canadian prime minister, as Carney seeks new global trade partners to reduce reliance on the United States.

- Following new agreements, officials agreed to increase energy collaboration, including LNG and renewables, as Carney noted a decision regarding the third nuclear plant could occur before year-end.
