“In times of profound geopolitical change, Canada, Germany and Norway are determined to build a strategic, long-term security partnership built on shared values and interests. 

Yesterday’s Canadian decision to join the German-Norwegian Type 212CD submarine cooperation creates a unique opportunity to boost our defence industrial and military cooperation.

We are seizing this opportunity to bring Canada, Germany and Norway closer together for decades to come in a spirit of friendship and trust. 

Together, we will assume greater responsibility for transatlantic security and collective defence. 

Our commitment extends beyond security and defence, encompassing strategic areas such as investment, energy, artificial intelligence, space and critical minerals.”
