Canada and the European Union signed a new Security and Defence Partnership on Monday in Brussels, marking a major step toward deepening transatlantic cooperation in military and security affairs.
The agreement provides a framework for regular dialogue and strategic cooperation in shared defence priorities. It is expected to enhance coordination between Canada and EU member states—particularly those who are also NATO allies—in areas such as joint capability development, crisis response, and military readiness.
“For Canada, this is about broadening and modernising our global partnerships,” Prime Minister Carney said. “Through increased cooperation in defence, trade, and commerce, we’ll create greater prosperity, security, and stability on both sides of the Atlantic.”
The partnership is also described as a strategic step towards Canada's participation in the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) initiative—part of the broader ReArm Europe Plan under the EU’s Readiness 2030 agenda, aimed at building a more integrated and responsive European defence architecture.
Officials say the deal will also streamline procurement processes and accelerate the delivery of shared capability targets, offering more economical solutions for transatlantic partners.
The announcement comes amid renewed geopolitical instability, including Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine and increasing global security threats, prompting closer coordination between allied democracies in North America and Europe.
