Canada aims to finalize EU associate partnership by June, says Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that he expects negotiations with the European Union on an unprecedented economic and security alliance to conclude by June. Speaking on the proposed partnership, Carney indicated that Canada could become the EU's first "associate member," though that specific term was omitted from the joint statement launching the initiative.

Carney stated that he will attend a summit of EU leaders in June to finalize the terms of the agreement. Officials emphasized that the proposed framework will not constitute full EU membership, but aims to establish deeper bilateral integration across economic and security sectors.
