This year, with shifting political winds, Canada gets more of the spotlight on the UN's stage
Carney said the approach aims to strengthen trade ties and multilateral cooperation as Canada seeks to reduce reliance on the United States.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney and a half-dozen other nations launched an international group at the United Nations General Assembly meant to advance economic cooperation and multilateral collaboration among middle powers.
- Carney has actively sought to reduce Canada's reliance on the United States, rejecting what he termed unacceptable trade demands last month as global powers flex influence over the international system.
- During the assembly, Carney held personal meetings with Jordan's king and the presidents of Chile and Angola, describing his approach as emphasizing pragmatic, calibrated alliances with select partners.
- Foreign Minister Anita Anand will deliver Canada's UN speech on Saturday focused on implementing the middle power strategy; Canada also pledged $100 million in humanitarian and security funding for Palestinians.
- Carney, 61, aims to double Canada's non-U.S. trade within a decade and is pursuing a trade deal with India by year's end to diversify the nation's economic partnerships.
