Canada and the European Union must shape a new world order together, says Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Carney told the European Parliament that Canada and the EU can work together to build a fair, stable, and prosperous world order. Diario de Córdoba reported his call for joint strategic autonomy between the two partners to face global challenges.
Carney urged cooperation across critical minerals, defense manufacturing, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and payment systems. His speech emphasized that shared security and economic strength depend on coordinated action between democracies.
Carney's speech comes as Canada faces mounting pressure from China. El Periódico de Aragón noted that the Prime Minister framed EU-Canada ties as essential to reducing dependence on authoritarian states. Strategic autonomy means the West must control its own supply chains and technology.
Europe and Canada plan deeper ties in raw materials and weapons production. El Periódico Mediterráneo highlighted that critical minerals like lithium and cobalt are essential for batteries and green energy. Joint defense ventures would strengthen NATO allies against threats.
Carney emphasized that artificial intelligence and space capabilities define future power. Diario de Ibiza reported his call for transatlantic rules on AI to prevent autocrats from controlling advanced technology. Space systems matter for communications, defense, and economic growth.
The Prime Minister stressed the need for EU-Canada payment networks free from US financial control. La Opinión A Coruña noted that developing alternative systems would reduce vulnerability to sanctions and economic coercion. This shift reflects broader Western concerns about relying on American infrastructure.
