Overview
- Carney and Macron reaffirmed unwavering support for Kyiv, as a group of leaders welcomed a U.S. draft peace framework but warned against limits that would weaken Ukraine’s defenses and insisted borders cannot be changed by force.
- The Canadian and French leaders urged urgent steps to stabilize Gaza and accelerate reconstruction to address the humanitarian crisis.
- Canada and South Africa agreed to launch talks on an investment‑protection pact focused on clean energy and critical minerals.
- Carney advanced a plan to deepen CPTPP–EU economic links, directing envoy John Hannaford to convene senior officials within two months to target early‑year deliverables.
- Trade talks with the United States remain paused at Ottawa’s choosing, as Carney said discussions will resume when appropriate and emphasized G20 progress without U.S. participation, while continued outreach to China drew a public coercion warning from a senior Taiwanese official.
