Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney joined other leaders today in Yerevan during the EPC Summit, including President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for a meeting convened by French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss ongoing support for Ukraine.
According to a readout issued by Carney’s office, the leaders discussed “the latest developments in Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s aggression, including the battlefield situation and President Zelenskyy’s ongoing efforts to secure a just and lasting peace.”
They agreed that the security, sovereignty, and prosperity of Ukraine is integral for wider transatlantic security.
The leaders committed to working together to provide ongoing multifaceted support for Ukraine, as well as robust security guarantees, economic recovery measures, and defence production.
“Prime Minister Carney reaffirmed Canada’s steadfast support for Ukraine and its willingness to contribute to the success of the peace process. The leaders underscored that Ukraine and its people deserve a prosperous, independent, and sovereign future, free from fear of future Russian aggression.”
Carney then met with the President of the European Council, António Costa, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on the margins of the European Political Community Summit.
Prime Minister Carney thanked President Costa for the invitation to attend the Summit. He noted that Canada’s participation at the Summit as the first non-European country is a reflection of the strong and growing relationship between Canada and Europe.
The leaders discussed deepening collaboration in priority areas such as secure supply chains, critical minerals, energy, and digital technologies. Prime Minister Carney emphasised Canada’s competitive advantages in these sectors.
