Macron and Carney push deeper France-Canada ties in Arctic archipelago

swissinfo.ch (French) — September 20, 2026 at 11:01 PM UTC

French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney advocated for closer bilateral ties and defended their nations' sovereignty during a joint visit to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon on Sunday, in response to ongoing threats from US President Donald Trump. Macron stated both countries are "two great independent nations that want to remain so," while Carney emphasized that "history remembers those who defend their sovereignty." The leaders announced plans for deeper cooperation in fishing, security, and energy, with Macron thanking Canada for advancing liquefied natural gas projects important for Europe. The visit also addressed local issues in the archipelago of 5,800 residents, including Macron's promise to accelerate climate relocation efforts for Miquelon village and announcements on military resources. Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon is pursuing new economic opportunities in satellite ground stations and digital cable projects.
