Overview

• During Mark Carney’s Sept. 18–19 visit to Mexico City, he and President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a new strategic partnership and a Mexico–Canada Plan of Action.
• The plan prioritizes trade and investment promotion, with leaders citing opportunities in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture and health, plus more frequent ministerial engagement.
• Both sides committed to coordinate positions for the mandated 2026 T‑MEC review, following the launch of public consultation processes in North America this month.
• Security cooperation will intensify through a new bilateral dialogue covering border control, transnational organized crime, human trafficking, emergency preparedness and cyber expertise sharing.
• Sheinbaum said Canadian mining companies operating in Mexico must comply with environmental rules, and both governments flagged ongoing labor‑mobility policies for Mexican temporary workers in Canada.
