️🇨🇦🇹🇷🇺🇸 ⁠Reuters: Canadian Prime Minister Carney travels to Ankara to meet Turkish President Erdogan, as Canada looks to expand its international partnerships and reduce its exposure to US trade policy.

The visit is expected to create a "strategic partnership" between the two countries, with a declaration that will cover areas including defense and energy. Turkey is also seeking foreign investment in its defense sector, nuclear power projects and mining industry.

The talks are part of Carney's broader effort to diversify Canadian trade amid tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump. Ottawa aims to double exports to markets outside the US within a decade, while Canada and Turkey began discussions on free trade at a NATO summit in Ankara in July.
