“The European Union is a key ally for Canada. Our relations are based on common values and close historical, political, economic, cultural and people-to-people ties. I look forward to continuing to work together to protect and promote shared values and interests, such as support for democracy, a rules-based international order and human rights, including gender equality.”

“I am committed to working with our international partners, at the conference and in the months to come, to support Ukraine as it implements meaningful economic and democratic reforms in order to build a sovereign, secure and stable future. The people of Ukraine can count on Canada’s continued and unwavering friendship and support.”
