The EU’s relations with Canada are entering a new era. At the Montreal Summit, we’ll deepen ties on security and defence, trade, critical raw materials, digital – and bring our people closer together. As global tensions rise, having friends you can count on makes a difference.

Canada is the most European of our partners outside Europe. The friendship between Europe and Canada has deep roots. We share a vision for the world and a firm commitment to our core values. Today, we are shaping the next chapter of our partnership. We are building an ever-closer association. Thank you, dear @MarkJCarney, for hosting the 21st EU-Canada Summit. And I agree with you: our association will be the closest, deepest and most unique of its kind.

🛬 Touchdown in Montréal 🇨🇦 Rarely have I looked forward to a Summit this much. An ocean separates Europe and Canada. Yet we have never felt closer. We have a new ambition: bringing Canada closer to us than ever before, as Associate Member of the EU. And we want to take our unique partnership even further. With an Alliance for the Future, we will stand together and respond to a world of growing rivalries. Montréal, we’re about to write a new chapter in our shared history.

Foreign interference is more sophisticated and agile than ever before. Instead of just targeting elections, adversaries exploit everyday news trends to fuel social divides and weaken democratic values. Verify your info before sharing or making arrangements.ow.ly/8OjH50ZWp6J

The new Team Canada Strong will lead a nationwide effort to recruit, train, and hire 80,000- 100,000 new Red Seal skilled workers to build housing, major projects, and defence readiness at speed and at scale.
An infographic titled “Our plan for a career in the skilled trades” shows a five step pathway, from joining the Team Canada Strong Program and registering as an apprentice, through technical training and certification, to becoming a Red Seal tradesperson, with icons and brief notes under each step.
