@trends_teller_canada: Prime Minister Mark Carney and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have announced a new strategic partnership aimed at strengthening trade, defence and economic ties between Canada and Turkey.⁠ ⁠ The agreement, unveiled in Ankara on October 22, covers trade and investment, defence and security, energy, and people-to-people relations. Free trade negotiations are scheduled to begin in November, while both countries plan to expand defence industry co-operation and explore opportunities in critical minerals and energy. The partnership could also lead to more passenger flights between Canada and Turkey.⁠ ⁠ The move comes as Carney works to reduce Canada's economic dependence on the United States and build stronger international partnerships. However, the visit has also drawn criticism from human rights advocates concerned about Turkey's crackdown on dissent and civil society organizations.⁠ ⁠#canada
