Canada, Turkiye launch strategic partnership, pursue free trade agreement

Prime Minister Carney and President Erdogan announced a 'strong and resilient' Canada-Turkiye partnership focused on trade, investment, and innovation, with negotiations toward a bilateral free trade agreement. This marks a notable diplomatic and economic rapprochement between a NATO member and a key regional power, potentially diversifying Canada's trade links and deepening Turkiye's Western economic engagement. The FTA's scope and timeline remain unspecified, and its success will depend on resolving existing trade frictions.
