Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is forming a “strategic partnership” with Turkey aimed at securing a free-trade agreement.
Carney arrived in Ankara overnight for the first official bilateral visit by a Canadian prime minister to Turkey.
In a joint statement with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the two leaders said they’re also looking to ratify an “air transportation agreement” which could lead to more direct flights.

The agreement also commits to deeper people-to-people ties with Turkey, something Carney also has sought with the European Union to offer more flexibility to tourists, workers and students.

The statement said Canada and Turkey have shared values, including “human rights, individual liberties, democracy and the rule of law.”
The Erdogan government is under heavy scrutiny internationally right now over reports of official persecution of LGBTQ+ organizers in the country.
Another useless MOU delivered by Carney they have a crumbling economy similar to Canada another Liberal failure .
Why not put that effort into securing a deal with our biggest trade partner right next door ?
Commenters that act like they know something, they don’t. They’re just DUMMIES like everyone else, run by DUMB politicians. Anyone who thinks otherwise will find out otherwise when laying on their deathbed.So keep TRASHING EACH OTHER, HAVE FUN!
Carney wants to bring in more Muslims so Canadian citie resemble the streets of Paris.
So, Turkey’s major exports are machinery and transportation equipment and vehicles (~31% of exports)
Manufactured goods (~25%)
Textiles (7%)
Iron and Steel (6%)
Main exports markets are Germany at the top followed by UK, UAE, US, Iraq, with smaller markets in France, Italy and Spain.
Top imports
Mineral fuels, oils, and distillation products (17.1% of imports)
Machinery including computers (11.4%)
Vehicles (10.1%)
Electrical machinery and equipment (8.2%)
Gems and precious metals (7.7%)
Main importers are Germany, Russia, and China.
So, not much strategy to have beyond sacrificing our own industries.

What a little weasel! KEEP HIM ERDOGAN! He’s a coward, just like you are!
Running from the ruins of what was a great country. Sweeping four deaths under the rug without the courtesy of a investigation by an outside source to determine the truth. This is how low he views human life.
I’m so sick of this little fraud and his minions in Ottawa. GO TO HELL CARNEY!
Glad to see Carney developing further trade ties with Turkey. We can sell, for example, LNG and some civilian nuclear technology to them.
