Canada is extending Operation REASSURANCE and deploying more Canadian Armed Forces personnel to Latvia to defend NATO’s Eastern Flank.
In Ankara, President @EdgarsRinkevics and I discussed the importance of that brigade — and I welcomed Latvia’s support for the Canada-led Defence, Security and Resilience Bank. Together, we’ll unlock major new investments in our defence industries, and reinforce our collective defence.
I wish Canada, Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, and all Canadians a Happy Canada Day. Ukraine joins you in celebrating this day. We appreciate Canada’s leadership in helping us protect the lives of our people across many domains: defense assistance, pioneering work on sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and financial sector, diplomatic advocacy, and much more. We are grateful that we can count on your continued support in all these areas. Thank you, Canada!
