Canada is proposing deeper cooperation with Europe across critical minerals, artificial intelligence, energy, defence and trade, with a focus on strengthening strategic supply chains and expanding economic connections.
Speaking in Strasbourg, Canada’s prime minister outlined plans for closer collaboration with European partners across a range of strategic industries. Critical minerals were identified as an important area for cooperation, supporting efforts to develop reliable supply networks for key industrial materials.
The proposed partnership would also cover AI and computing, energy security, space, payments and defence industrial capacity. Greater coordination across these sectors could strengthen connections between Canadian resources, European industries and international markets.
Canada also highlighted opportunities to expand digital trade in non agricultural goods and services. Improved digital trade connections could support more efficient cross border business activity and strengthen links between companies and markets on both sides of the Atlantic.
Energy is another area of potential cooperation, with Canada highlighting opportunities to supply liquefied natural gas and hydrogen to European markets. New port infrastructure in northern and eastern Canada could further support the transportation and distribution of energy resources.
The proposed cooperation reflects broader efforts to build stronger international supply chains by connecting critical minerals, energy, technology and trade infrastructure across Canada and Europe.
