️🇪🇺🇨🇦 The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, describes Canada's relations with Europe and calls for closer cooperation against a backdrop of changing geopolitical conditions:.
"Canada is the most European country outside of Europe because what brings us together goes far beyond geography. We see the world through the same eyes. What matters nowadays is not where the country is on the map, but what it is willing to build with us and what it represents in a world of strong geopolitical headwinds. These headwinds never stop blowing. This change is permanent and with a future to build that future."
