Macron: France-Canada friendship is a strength in a world of crises

rfi.fr (Chinese) — September 20, 2026 at 09:01 PM UTC

French President Emmanuel Macron visited the French Atlantic archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon on September 20, meeting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Macron stated that France and Canada are "two great independent nations" that will maintain their independence. The two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation in energy, space, climate, fisheries, and security. Carney called for France, Canada, the US, and China to work together on "safe and effective" artificial intelligence, while welcoming Canada's proposed "quasi-membership" in the EU. The visit, the first by a French president since 2014, comes weeks after US President Donald Trump posted an image of the islands with an American flag. Macron emphasized that the friendship between the two nations is "a strength" in a world of crises.
