Canadian Prime Minister Carney is advancing Canada's trade and defense relationships in Europe, with recent visits to Warsaw and Berlin focused on strengthening ties with Poland and Germany. During his trip to Poland, Carney emphasized deepening defense and trade cooperation. In Germany, he is engaging with officials and business leaders to boost bilateral relations. Concurrently, Canada has narrowed its procurement choices for new submarines to two finalists: a German-Norwegian consortium and a South Korean bidder. This selection is part of the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP), which aims to replace the aging Victoria-class submarines. Carney is scheduled to visit the ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) facility in Kiel, Germany, and plans to visit Hanwha's facilities in South Korea in October. Additionally, Carney announced an extension of the Canadian military mission in Latvia through 2029, underscoring Canada's ongoing commitment to NATO and regional security.
