Part of Mark Carney travels to Turkey for bilateral talks and business meetings, while Turkey agrees to join Canada's Defence Security Bank.

How could the Canada-Turkey strategic partnership affect the Government of Canada?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

The partnership could boost Canadian exports of nuclear technology and engineering services to Turkey. The strategic partnership between Canada and Turkey, which includes energy cooperation as a pillar, positions AtkinsRéalis to bid for a lucrative tender to supply two planned Turkish power plants with Candu nuclear reactors. This successful bid, supported by high-level diplomatic engagement from Prime Minister Mark Carney, aligns with Canada's broader nuclear strategy to sell more Candu reactors globally. If the bid succeeds, it would represent a significant increase in exports of Canadian nuclear technology and engineering services to Turkey, strengthening Canada's position as a reliable international partner.

How it reaches Government of Canada

Reported by news outletsBrind's reasoning

Tap any step to see the evidence behind it.

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

Why it matters

The success of this bid is significant because it directly supports the Government of Canada's stated goal of establishing itself as a reliable uranium export partner and leveraging nuclear energy as a geopolitical lever. For the Government of Canada, securing such a major international energy contract validates its diplomatic efforts and the viability of its domestic nuclear technology sector.

This move is part of a wider push by Canada to deepen cooperation with NATO allies and other international partners. The government is actively working to make the Canadian market more welcoming to foreign firms and investors, and this Turkish tender represents a key opportunity to demonstrate that evolution.

What we don't know yet

  • Will the Turkish government decide on the contract before the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya?
  • How competitive is the tender, given that Carney acknowledged there is competition?

Is this still moving?
