Canada, Turkey set to restart discussions on free-trade agreement
The countries will also examine renewable and nuclear energy projects as Canada seeks to expand trade ties with Turkey.
- On Wednesday, Canada and Turkey agreed to restart initial discussions on a free-trade agreement. Global Affairs Canada said the move reflects both countries' ambition to unlock the full potential of their commercial partnership.
- Previous free-trade talks between Canada and Turkey in 2010 and 2013 failed to yield results. The federal government reported there was not sufficient common ground to pursue formal negotiations at that time.
- International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu and his Turkish counterpart agreed to explore renewable and nuclear energy opportunities. Sidhu told The Canadian Press that Turkey is "very interested" in Candu nuclear reactor technology.
- Canada is looking to sign three major trade deals before the end of the year, as Prime Minister Mark Carney's government boasted of signing 20 strategic trade and defence agreements over the past year.
- Turkey is hosting the 2026 NATO summit next month and the 2026 United Nations Climate Change Conference in the fall. These events position the nation as a strategic partner in Europe and Asia.
