CANADA, June 30 - Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, spoke with the Prime Minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson.
The leaders discussed the growing defence industrial cooperation between Canada and Sweden since the launch of the Canada-Sweden Strategic Partnership in November. This includes Canada’s decision to enter into negotiations with Swedish company Saab to procure the GlobalEye, an Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft platform. With trade having grown 116% in the past five years, there is significant potential for industries and businesses to build and partner together.
