Why it matters

The agreement to join the Defence Security and Resilience Bank significantly elevates Turkey's standing within a new multilateral financial and security framework championed by Canada. This move is part of a broader strategic effort by Canada to reduce its reliance on the United States as its primary trading partner.

This diplomatic engagement is part of ongoing efforts to expand trade relationships, as Carney has vowed to double Canada’s non-US trade over the next decade. The talks also follow the formal launch of free-trade agreement negotiations between Canada and Turkey at the NATO leaders’ summit in July.
