Canada and Mexico have signed a pact to deepen trade ties and partnerships to build infrastructure such as ports, rail and energy corridors while tackling crime and protecting the environment.
The agreement — billed as a comprehensive strategic partnership — was signed by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico City Thursday.
It includes a plan for a trade mission to Mexico, led by Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, and $9.9 million in funding for United Nations-led projects to combat drugs and support migrant integration.
“Canada and Mexico are entering a new era of cooperation. We are elevating our partnerships in trade, investment, energy and security to create more opportunity for Canadian workers, expanded markets for Canadian businesses, and more certainty for Canadian investors, while making North America the most competitive and dynamic economic region in the world," Carney said.
