Prime Minister Mark Carney has continued his trade diversification efforts during a visit to Germany, pledging to cooperate on critical minerals with Europe’s largest economy and opening the door to exporting liquified natural gas (LNG).
Carney made the stop in Germany on Aug. 26, after visits earlier this week in Ukraine and Poland. During the visit, Canada and Germany signed a Joint Declaration of Intent to increase cooperation in critical minerals, in order to secure supply chains, collaborate on research, and co-fund new projects.
