Press Release
YEREVAN, Armenia, May 3, 2026 /CNW/ - Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, met with the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, on the margins of the European Political Community Summit in Yerevan, Armenia.
Prime Minister Tusk welcomed Canada's strong and growing relationship with partners in the European Union, including Poland.
Building on Prime Minister Carney's visit to Poland last year and the launch of the Canada-Poland strategic partnership, the leaders discussed deepening collaboration across a wide range of sectors, including energy, aerospace, and defence. To that end, Prime Minister Carney invited Prime Minister Tusk to Canada later this year. They looked forward to Polish officials attending CANSEC in Ottawa, Canada, later this month, and Canada being the Lead Nation of the International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kielce, Poland, this September.
The prime ministers underscored their commitment to strengthening regional security on NATO's eastern flank, including through NATO's Canada-led Multinational Brigade in Latvia and Operation UNIFIER. Earlier this year, Canada announced the renewal of Operation UNIFIER to 2029.
Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Tusk agreed to remain in close contact.
This is great. I'm impressed with Polands 🇵🇱 resolve when it comes to dealing with Russia. I know that Poland remembers being controlled by the Soviet union. Their making decisions to never again allow another country control them. I believe that their defense spending is already at 5%(I may be wrong). Closer ties with Poland 🇵🇱 is 🇨🇦 something Canada 🇨🇦 should excelerate.
