Canada publishes national security strategy, proposes to strengthen economic security and armed forces [Now Channel News] Canada has published its first national security strategy in more than 20 years. The document indicates that Canada's national security depends not only on national defense and adequate resources, but also on economic strength, institutional strength and partnerships with allies. The strategy proposes five key priorities, including strengthening economic security, implementing sound foreign policy, rebuilding and strengthening the Canadian Armed Forces, protecting Canada and strengthening public security and improving intelligence capabilities. Canadian Prime Minister Carney said that the national security strategy reflects the dangerous reality of the current world. He also said that strengthening Canada's ability to obtain semiconductors, critical minerals, clean energy and artificial intelligence will ensure that Canada can control its sovereignty and choose its own way of life.
