Macron says France-Canada friendship is a strength in a crisis-filled world

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

French President Emmanuel Macron visited the French islands 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 remain independent. The two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation in fisheries, security, and energy, while also expanding ties in space and climate. Carney called for France, Canada, the US, and China to work together on safe and effective artificial intelligence. The visit, the first by a French president since 2014, comes amid tensions between Canada and the US, with President Donald Trump having posted images of the islands covered by the American flag. Macron emphasized that the territory belongs to France.
