Carney’s FULL BRIEFING: A major geopolitical flashpoint is unfolding as tensions rise over Greenland, pitting the United States against NATO partners. Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney issues a sharp warning to Donald Trump, urging Washington to back off amid fears that aggressive rhetoric and pressure tactics could fracture the Western alliance. As the standoff escalates, questions grow over whether China could step in, exploiting divisions and reshaping Arctic power dynamics.

00:00The Greenland – the future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and for the Kingdom
00:06of Denmark.
00:07We are NATO partners with Denmark, and so our full partnership stands.
00:14Our obligations on Article 5, Article 2 of NATO stand, and we stand fuller square behind
00:19those.
00:20All right.
00:21Good afternoon.
00:22Bonjour tout le monde.
00:23C'est un grand plaisir d'être ici pour ma première visite en Chine en tant que premier
00:28ministre.
00:29Et je tiens tout d'abord à remercier le président Xi Jinping et le premier ministre Li pour
00:38leur hospitalité qu'ils nous ont témoigné ici à Beijing.
00:45It has been a historic and productive two days, during which myself and fellow ministers
00:53have had the opportunity to meet with President Xi, Premier Li, Chairman Zhao, as well as business
01:00leaders across a number of key sectors.
01:04And I am very pleased to announce that we have made significant progress in a number of key
01:10areas.
01:12Stepping back, it's been eight years since a Canadian Prime Minister visited China.
01:16And in that time, the world has changed dramatically.
01:21The technological revolution and the energy transition are accelerating at an unprecedented
01:26pace.
01:28The global trading system is undergoing a fundamental change, and the effectiveness of multilateral
01:34institutions on which trading powers such as Canada and China have greatly relied,
01:40that effectiveness has been greatly reduced.
01:43This is happening fast, it's large, it's a rupture, it's not a transition.
01:48What we do now as Canada, how we position ourselves in the world, will shape our future for decades
01:54to come.
01:57Canada can thrive in a new system.
02:01But to do so, we must be ambitious.
02:05We must work at speed and scale to find new partners, to diversify our trade and attract
02:10unprecedented levels of investment in our country.
02:14And we must be pragmatic.
02:17That means we have to understand the differences between Canada and other countries.
02:22And then focus our efforts to work together where we're aligned.
02:28And it's with this approach that Canada is forging a new strategic partnership with China.
02:34Canada is the world's second-largest economy.
02:37It contributes one-third to global growth.
02:41It's our second-largest trading partner and our third-largest investor.
02:46Two-way trade between our countries amounts to nearly $120 billion a year.
02:52There are 400,000 careers across Canada.
02:57Farmers in the prairies, manufacturers and engineers in Ontario and Quebec, fish harvesters
03:02in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia, they are all supported by trade with China.
03:08$20 billion in wages are earned each year by Canadians because of our existing trade relationship.
03:19And this is a relationship that has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
03:26That has held back investment, it has stalled business growth and cost Canadian workers good
03:31opportunities.
03:34And it has had the consequence of leaving us even more dependent on our largest trading partner.
03:43And that's why immediately after the election, Canada's new government began to recalibrate
03:47our relationship with China, strategically, pragmatically and decisively.
03:54Peu après les élections, j'ai discuté avec le premier ministre Li.
03:59Deux mois plus tard, nous nous sommes rencontrés à New York.
04:04En octobre, j'ai rencontré le président Xi en Corée du Sud.
04:10Avec un dialogue soutenu, constructif et pragmatique, notamment à travers les visites de nos ministres
04:19et aux membres de notre caucus en Chine, nous renouvelons cette relation afin qu'elle génère
04:26des résultats ambitieux pour les populations des deux pays.
04:33Ours is a long-standing relationship.
04:36Canada was one of the first Western nations to recognize China in 1970.
04:42Over many decades, Chinese Canadians have helped build communities in every part of our country,
04:50from dynamic small businesses to schools and hospitals, straight through to innovation
04:55across advanced technologies.
04:57Partout en Chine, il y a des entreprises canadiennes comme Manuvie, CAE et la Banque de Montréal
05:04qui font affaire en Chine depuis longtemps.
05:08Leur présence ici bénéficie aussi évidemment à l'économie canadienne,
05:14et j'aurai le plaisir de rencontrer plusieurs de ces entreprises plus tard dans la journée.
05:21Je serai heureux de leur parler des possibilités élargies qui s'offrent à elles.
05:31Il y a deux millions de Canadiens de chines descent,
05:36leaders across commerce, technologie, et culture.
05:39Mandarin is Canada's fourth-most spoken language.
05:43Il y a beaucoup à protéger dans cette relation, et beaucoup à construire, et beaucoup à être gagné.
05:50Leveraging our strengths and focusing on areas of alignment, Canada and China,
05:55can create greater stability, security and prosperity for both our nations.
06:00And to that end, President Xi and I are announcing that Canada and China
06:05are forging a new strategic partnership.
06:08It will focus on five key areas where both our nations stand to make substantial and sustained gains.
06:16The first is in clean energy and climate competitiveness,
06:20areas where Canada and China have immense strengths and complementary strengths.
06:26Second, we're expanding trade, particularly in agriculture and food,
06:31where Canada is a reliable partner.
06:33Third, our commitment to multilateralism and strengthening global governance
06:38comes at a time when all of this is in flux.
06:41Fourth, we're deepening engagement in public safety and security to protect our peoples.
06:47And finally, people-to-people ties and culture are being enhanced to enrich our lives.
06:54To begin, we're leveraging our strengths in energy, clean tech and climate competitiveness.
07:00Canada is an energy superpower in both conventional and clean energies.
07:06We have an over 80% clean electricity grid with vast potential to power the clean economy of the future.
07:12China is the leader, the leader, the leader mondial of energy propres,
07:19producing more than 75% of all the batteries of electric vehicles,
07:25and more than 80% of the solar panels and more than 60% of the world.
07:34China produces some of the most affordable and efficient energy,
07:41and more than 80% of the energy propres.
07:43China's strengths in the electric vehicle sector are undeniable.
07:47China produces some of the most affordable and efficient energy,
07:51energy efficient vehicles in the world.
08:06And in order for Canada to build our own competitive EV sector,
08:11we need to learn from innovative partners, access their supply chains, and increase local demand.
08:18And to help deliver the full potential of these partnerships and bring down costs for Canadians,
08:24Canada has agreed to allow up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the Canadian market,
08:32with the most favored nation tariff rate of 6.1%.
08:37This is a return to the levels that existed prior to recent trade frictions.
08:44But it's a return under an agreement that promises much more for Canadians.
08:49It's expected that within three years, this agreement will drive considerable Chinese investment in Canada's auto sector,
08:57creating good careers in Canada and accelerating our progress towards a net-zero future and the auto industry of the future.
09:05With this agreement, it's also anticipated that within five years,
09:10more than 50% of these vehicles will be affordable EVs with an import price of less than $35,000.
09:18Over the next 15 years, Canada intends to double our energy grid through major investments in hydro, nuclear, solar and wind power.
09:28That creates tremendous opportunities for Chinese partnerships in these investments, including in energy storage and offshore wind.
09:37On the other hand, Canada is developing our oil and natural gas reserves, one of the world's largest, to be the lowest risk, lowest cost, and lowest carbon.
09:47Last June, we exported our first LNG shipment to Asia, and we're scaling up quickly, making major investments in streamlining approvals.
09:56By 2030, Canada will produce 50 million tons of LNG each year, all of which will be destined for Asian markets.
10:04The second pillar of our strategic partnership aims to increase trade directly between Canada and China.
10:26Our agricultural cooperation built the foundation of our bilateral relationship.
10:32For more than six decades, Canada has been a reliable partner for China in food exports.
10:39Canadians export more than $7 billion in agricultural products to China each year.
10:45China used to be the largest market for Canadian canola seed.
10:50We want to not just return to those levels, but to surpass them.
10:54And so I'm pleased today to announce that Canada and China have reached a preliminary but landmark trade agreement
11:01to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs.
11:05By March the 1st, Canada expects that China will lower tariffs on Canadian canola seed to a combined rate of approximately 15%.
11:14China is a $4 billion canola seed market for Canadian producers, and this change represents a significant drop from the current combined tariff levels of 84%.
11:26Furthermore, Canada expects that Canadian canola meal as well as Canadian lobsters, crabs and peas will not be subject to relevant anti-discrimination tariffs from March 1st of this year until at least the end of this year.
11:39Together, these results will unlock nearly $3 billion of export orders for Canadian farmers, fish harvesters and processors as they realize the full potential of this market of 1.4 billion people.
11:53With this agreement, we also expect to see a resolution of many long-term obstacles for a range of important agricultural sectors from beef to pet food.
12:06We welcome Chinese business plans to significantly scale up their investment in Canada.
12:31We welcome Chinese business plans to significantly scale up their investment in Canada in major clean energy projects as well as in agriculture and consumer projects.
12:40And by building this new strategic partnership, we're creating the stability and certainty needed to catalyze new investment and opportunities for Canadian workers.
12:49Both Canada and China are strong advocates of multilateralism.
12:54We share several objectives in terms of what is related to the environment.
13:01The Canada and China's leadership leadership has allowed to create with success a global framework for the economic biodiversity during the COP15 in Montreal.
13:13That's why the third pillar of our strategic partnership is a renewed commitment towards the world's governance.
13:23By collaborating, Canada and China can focus on the number of economic interests,
13:34along with the economic competitiveness and finance to the economic stability and multilateralism.
13:42China will be the host of APEC this year, and Canada stands ready to support their agenda focused on strengthening and reinvigorating the multilateral system.
13:55Canada appreciates China's support for our bid to host the APEC's Leaders' Summit in 2029.
14:03The fourth pillar of our new strategic partnership is public safety and security.
14:08And this is an area where pragmatic and constructive engagement with China is crucial.
14:14Through this pillar, our law enforcement agencies will increase cooperation to better combat narcotics trafficking,
14:22transnational crime, cyber crime, synthetic drugs, and money laundering.
14:28And we will create safer communities for people in both our countries.
14:33And finally, people have always been at the core of this relationship.
14:39As I said, Canada is home to a Chinese diaspora of two million.
14:44Over 300,000 Chinese visitors came to Canada in 2024.
14:49China is Canada's seven largest source of tourism.
14:53So the fifth pillar of this partnership will build on opportunities for cultural exchanges and partnerships
15:01that further deepen our people-to-people ties.
15:03That means museums, digital content creators, visual artists, and other creative professionals
15:09in our respective countries will have new opportunities to collaborate.
15:13It also means more tourism, including following China's decision in November to grant approved destination status
15:22for group travelers to Canada.
15:24And we're building on this progress, looking to increase travel, exchange, and deepen our cultural ties.
15:30I'm very pleased to share that President Xi, in our meeting today, has committed to ensuring visa-free access
15:37for Canadians traveling to China.
15:40We're different countries. We have different systems, different histories, different perspectives.
15:56Yet, we have much in common. And when we focus on our strengths and we focus our ambition towards those areas where we have the most in common,
16:06Canada and China have done great things.
16:11In the mid-1980s, our bilateral trade was roughly $2 billion.
16:15In just two decades, that increased to $30 billion.
16:19Through periods of global tension and disruption, we've created more opportunities for our workers, businesses, and investors by working together.
16:26And with this new strategic partnership, that's the opportunity before us now.
16:31It's a partnership that reflects the world as it is today, with an engagement that's realistic, respectful, and interest-based.
16:41The work in the recent months, the discussions, and the meetings over the past two days have not been a question of putting things back on track.
16:51It's been more a question of designing new tracks that will benefit the people of both our countries.
16:57In a world of increasing uncertainty, Canada is building with speed, confidence, and determination.
17:26We're forging new partnerships around the world.
17:29We're diversifying trade over a dozen new agreements across four continents in recent months.
17:35We're attracting record levels of new investment in order to unleash $1 trillion of investment in the Canadian economy over the next five years.
17:43We're building a web of new connections with China to create transformative opportunities for Canadian workers,
17:53build more stability, more certainty, and prosperity on both sides of the Pacific.
17:59And with that, I very much look forward to your questions. Thank you very much. Merci beaucoup.
18:03Thank you, Prime Minister. Merci.
18:05Nous allons maintenant passer à la période de questions. First question, Tonda.
18:07We'll do one question, one follow-up.
18:09Tonda McCharles, Toronto Star. Right here, Prime Minister. Right here.
18:13How are you? Ah, there you are. Sorry.
18:15Hi.
18:16I'm in plain sight. Sorry.
18:18We're so many reporters here, so it'll be one question. We won't take follow-ups, but please bear with us.
18:26Okay.
18:27Prime Minister, this announcement allowed – I'd like you to characterize it in terms of how big an entry into the market you expect it really is.
18:36And how do you intend to explain it to the U.S. in allowing that entry?
18:44And separately, how do you intend to explain it to Canadian car makers who fear any softening on Chinese EVs?
18:51Okay. So you mean the auto portion of the broader partner? Yes. Okay.
18:55So I think the first thing to say is exactly that, that it's part of a broader partnership.
19:00And the fundamental issue is we have a broader strategic partnership on which to build and create big opportunity.
19:08But to get to the auto question and your various questions around specifically, let's put this in context.
19:1449,000 vehicles, which is the cap on Chinese electric vehicle exports to Canada, that's part of this agreement.
19:24That's a return to levels last seen in 2023, the last – or the last full year before the Canadian tariff actions. That's the first point.
19:32Second point, again, to put it in – to mention it, that's less than 3% of the size of the Canadian auto market.
19:40The third point, to put in context, and I reference this, is that part of this agreement – and it takes a few years to build this, a couple of years to build this – that a portion, an increasing portion of those exports will be in a new segment of the Canadian market.
19:57In other words, electric vehicles that cost less than $35,000 at the – at the landed price.
20:04So, there's huge opportunity here to get more affordable cars in the electric vehicle market for Canada.
20:11The fourth element, and in many respects the most important element, is the beginning of discussions and expectation of Chinese investment in Canada and partnership in Canada to produce vehicles over time.
20:26So, to partner with Canadian firms.
20:29And putting all this – and if I can take the last part of your question, then move to colleagues – which is vis-à-vis the U.S.
20:36I think we need to look at this in the context of building.
20:40I mean, we're building a new part of our car industry, building cars of the future in partnership, bringing affordable autos for Canadians at a time when affordability is top of mind, and doing it at a scale that allows for a smooth transition in the sector.
21:07Thanks.
21:08Next question.
21:09Steve.
21:10Steve Chase, Globe and Mail.
21:13Good afternoon.
21:14This week, two Liberal MPs cut short their visit to Taiwan.
21:21It was a friendship and outreach visit.
21:23They cut it short before they were going to meet with President William Lai.
21:26They said in a statement that they were advised to do this by the government.
21:30So, why did the government advise these two Liberal MPs to cut short their visit?
21:35And is this an indication we're willing to tailor our foreign policy to placate Beijing?
21:41Well, a couple of things.
21:44One is our policy with respect to Taiwan, our One China policy, which was set in 1970, has not changed.
21:54We're reaffirming our One China policy.
21:56It remains constant.
21:57It's consistent.
21:58We have relations with the government here, People's Republic of China, and we have people-to-people relations in Taiwan.
22:12Those MPs, members of my caucus, members of our caucus, participated in the people-to-people proportion of that trip.
22:21But no, not in the government proportion.
22:24And, you know, that's straightforward, not causing confusion about what the policy is of the government,
22:29the policy of Canada that has been the policy of Liberal governments and the policy of Conservative governments
22:34over the course of the last 55 years.
22:36Prochaine question. Laurence?
22:37Oui, bonjour, M. Carney. Laurence Martin, Radio-Canada.
22:42Bonjour.
22:43Dans la stratégie Indo-Pacifique, le Canada décrivait la Chine comme une puissance de plus en plus perturbatrice.
22:50Est-ce que c'était un choix de mots judicieux? Est-ce que pour vous, la Chine, c'est une puissance perturbatrice?
22:57Il y a des hyperpuissances perturbatrices qui existent dans le monde. Plus qu'une. Et ça, c'est le monde comme il est. C'est la vérité, c'est la réalité.
23:11Et il faut pour le Canada d'avoir des relations avec des grandes puissances, des relations commerciales, mais des relations qui sont calibrées, calibrées à nos intérêts et nos valeurs.
23:28Mais est-ce que la Chine est une puissance perturbatrice?
23:30Ce n'est pas mon objectif. Je n'étais pas membre du gouvernement à ce moment-là.
23:36Donc vous n'êtes pas d'accord?
23:38Question, Ashley.
23:39Vous avez changé d'avis?
23:40Je n'étais pas là. Ce n'était pas mon avis, madame.
23:45Question, Prime Minister.
23:46Less than a year ago, you said that China was the biggest security threat to Canada.
23:51Do you still believe that?
23:52The security landscape continues to change.
23:57And in a world that's more dangerous and divided, we face many threats.
24:06That's the reality.
24:07And the job, my responsibilities as Prime Minister, the job of the government is to manage those threats.
24:16You manage those threats by building resilience, building security.
24:24You manage those threats through alliances.
24:27You manage those threats through engagement.
24:30And we're pursuing all of those.
24:33And I would say that, well, the threat environment has increased.
24:40The risks have multiplied.
24:43So, too, has our resilience and our engagement, which is protecting Canadians on balance.
24:50But is that threat from China still exist?
24:53I'll refer to my previous answer.
24:56Next question, Martina.
24:58Prime Minister Martina Stavis, New York Times.
25:01After your visit, is it fair to say that you're concluding that China is a more predictable
25:10and maybe reliable partner to Canada than the United States is today?
25:16Well, let me answer it.
25:18I'm going to answer it directly with respect to the relations with China and our engagement with China.
25:26And I will say that from the first conversation I had with Premier Li, telephone conversation,
25:33then the meeting in New York, the long meeting with President Xi in Korea,
25:39and then the meetings over the course of the last few days.
25:42There are a number of specific issues, and I've outlined them and where we've made progress in our strategic partnership.
25:49But we spent a fair bit of time in all of those meetings about the guardrails, if you will, of the relationship,
25:59where we felt we could cooperate, where we had differences of opinion,
26:03where we had differences of view in the system, respecting each other's differences in the system.
26:10And that sort of candid and consistent dialogue, frank dialogue, that leads to a more predictable and effective relationship.
26:20Our relationship, the one comparison I will give you with the United States,
26:24is much more multifaceted, much deeper, much broader than it is with China.
26:31But yes, in terms of the way that our relationship has progressed in recent months with China,
26:40it is more predictable, and you see results coming from that.
26:46Thanks, thank you.
26:47Can we talk about the previsibility?
26:48The previsibility, yes, it is necessary to explain, to make a little explanation,
26:58because there are clear challenges for the cooperation between Canada and China.
27:08Yes, there are challenges, but they are also clear.
27:14And, by consequence, yes, the relations with China are more predictable now than other relations for Canada.
27:25Next question. Mylène.
27:28Bonjour, M. Carney.
27:30Bonjour, Mme.
27:31Mylène Crête de La Presse.
27:33Mylène Crête de La Presse.
27:34Je voulais savoir, qu'est-ce que vous allez répondre à Doug Ford qui voulait une usine
27:37en échange de l'ouverture du marché canadien aux véhicules électriques chinois?
27:41Et pourquoi est-ce que les tarifs sur le port sont demeurés les mêmes?
27:46Les tarifs… pardon, le deuxième…
27:49Sur le port, le port…
27:50Le port.
27:51Le port.

30:01Hello…
30:02Prime Minister Carney…
30:03CSIS has called China…
30:05An enduring threat…
30:06To Canadian tech…
30:07And democracy…
30:08And some in the auto sector…
30:09Have said…
30:10That Chinese EVs…
30:11Could pose…
30:12A national security risk…
30:13If allowed into Canada…
30:14And your plan…
30:15Is to increase…
30:16The number of those EVs…
30:17That are coming into Canada…
30:18Every year…
30:19Did you get…
30:20Any assurances…
30:21From President Xi…
30:22That China…
30:23Are allowing…
30:24More Chinese investment…
30:25In many sectors…
30:26Including the auto sector…
30:27So…
30:28Several aspects…
30:29Thank you for the question…
30:30Several aspects…
30:31Of what you said…
30:32The first is…
30:33And I'm going to refer…
30:34To something I said…
30:35A few minutes ago…
30:36Which is…
30:37We're returning…
30:38To the levels…
30:39Of Chinese…
30:40Automobiles…
30:41As a cap…
30:42That we had…
30:43Two years ago…
30:44Okay…
30:45Secondly…
30:46Just to reinforce…
30:47That's less than 3%…
30:48Of the Canadian auto sector…
30:49So…
30:50Again…
30:51Let's keep that…
30:52Keep it in perspective…
30:53Every year after…
30:54Yeah…
30:55Again…
30:56Well…
30:57Again…
30:58But in…
30:59You bring that…
31:00You…
31:01Compound that growth…
31:02And you're getting to about 70,000 vehicles…
31:03At year 5…
31:04Although…
31:05The agreement…
31:06Has it reviewed…
31:07After year 3…
31:08So again…
31:09It's still in…
31:10Low single digit…
31:11Proportion…
31:12Of the size…
31:13Of the Canadian auto sector…
31:14One point…
31:15Canadians buy about…
31:161.8 million…
31:17Autos a year…
31:18The second thing…
31:19But you asked…
31:20You…
31:21You…
31:22Had autos mentioned…
31:23But then you asked…
31:24If…
31:25If I may…
31:26A deeper question…
31:27Around…
31:28Our relations…
31:29Our…
31:30And…
31:31And…
31:32As you said…
31:33Foreign interference…
31:34Transnational aspects…
31:35First thing I'd say…
31:37Is that part of the agreement…
31:39Includes…
31:41A security aspect…
31:43Greater…
31:44Cooperation between law enforcement…
31:46On a series of cross-border crime issues…
31:49That's the kind of progress…
31:51We need…
31:52In order to address…
31:53A range of issues…
31:54Including illicit…
31:55Narcotics…
31:56But as well as…
31:57Interference…
31:58And then the second…
31:59Is…
32:00That…
32:01We have an understanding…
32:02These are some of the issues…
32:03That we discuss…
32:04In terms of…
32:05Our expectations…
32:06In Canada…
32:07Our red lines…
32:09In terms of…
32:11Preventing foreign interference…
32:12Not tolerating foreign interference…
32:14And addressing it…
32:15When we see it…
32:16And…
32:17As…
32:18As…
32:19Prime Minister…
32:20I've always taken this…
32:21Extremely seriously…
32:22Just from the point…
32:23When I got my security clearance…
32:25Well before…
32:26I was elected leader…
32:27Of the Liberal Party…
32:28Thank you…
32:29Next question…
32:30Christopher…
32:31Good afternoon Prime Minister…
32:32Christopher Nari…
32:33From the National Post…
32:34Canola tariffs…
32:35Are not completely…
32:36Disappearing…
32:37And more importantly…
32:38They're not disappearing…
32:39On all products…
32:40Either…
32:41What do you say…
32:42To the industry…
32:43Who is hoping…
32:44Obviously for progress…
32:45On this…
32:46But will still be dealing…
32:47With tariffs…
32:48Going forward…
32:49In their second biggest…
32:50Export market…
32:51This is enormous progress…
32:52We're dropping…
32:53The expectations…
32:54Starting…
32:55From March 1…
32:56So in advance…
32:57Of planning…
32:58Planting…
32:59We're seeing…
33:00Canola…
33:01Tariffs…
33:02We fully expect…
33:03Canola…
33:04Canola…
33:05Tariffs…
33:06To drop…
33:07From 85 percent…
33:08To…
33:09A combined…
33:1015 percent…
33:11Approximately…
33:1215 percent…
33:13I'll use the…
33:14Exact language…
33:15In the agreement…
33:16And that's going to create…
33:17An opportunity…
33:18Combined…
33:19Between meal…
33:20And seed…
33:21A 7 billion…
33:23Dollar…
33:24Market…
33:25Opportunity…
33:26That's the first point…
33:27The second…
33:28Is that…
33:29The spirit…
33:31Of this agreement…
33:32So there's agreements…
33:33And technical…
33:34Aspects…
33:35Of the agreement…
33:36And expecting…
33:37Those to be followed…
33:38That's important…
33:39But it's also…
33:40The spirit…
33:41Of what is…
33:42A new partnership…
33:43A new era…
33:44Turning the corner…
33:45You know…
33:46Historic agreement…
33:47Building more broadly…
33:48That creates a series…
33:49Of expectations…
33:50About…
33:51Where we're going…
33:52From here…
33:53Whether it's in…
33:54Canola…
33:55Other grains…
33:56Pulses…
33:57You know…
33:59Lobster…
34:01Beef…
34:02Pork…
34:03Pet food…
34:04All these…
34:05Covered…
34:06So there's…
34:07There's movement…
34:08And there's a real…
34:09You know…
34:10It's a return…
34:11And actually…
34:12More than a return…
34:13To Canada…
34:14Next question…
34:15Brian…
34:16Prime Minister…
34:17Brian Platt…
34:18With Bloomberg News…
34:19Yesterday…
34:20When you met…
34:21With Premier Li…
34:22One of the things…
34:23You said…
34:24In the public remarks…
34:25Was…
34:26This partnership…
34:27With Canada…
34:28And China…
34:29This new partnership…
34:30Sets us up well…
34:31For the new world order…
34:32What did you mean…
34:33By that…
34:34What is the new world order?
34:35Well…
34:36This is…
34:37It's a great question…
34:38Brian…
34:39What…
34:40What that order is going to be…
34:41And let's be clear…
34:42What we're talking about…
34:43First and foremost…
34:44Which is…
34:45What are the trading…
34:46What…
34:47What is going to govern…
34:48Global trade…
34:49What is the role of the WTO…
34:50Going to be…
34:51How important are…
34:52Bilateral deals…
34:53Such as…
34:54The one we're developing…
34:55Plural lateral deals…
34:57If I can use that term…
34:58Trans-Pacific Partnership…
35:00The potential linkages…
35:03Between transportation…
35:04Pacific Partnership…
35:05And the EU…
35:07Where is…
35:08Financial regulation…
35:10Payment system regulation…
35:11Going to fit into that…
35:12All of these aspects…
35:14The…
35:15The…
35:16I mean…
35:17It's a fancy word…
35:18Like…
35:19The architecture…
35:20The multilateral system…
35:21That has been developing these…
35:23Is being…
35:25Eroded…
35:26To use a polite term…
35:28Undercut…
35:29Use another term…
35:30So…
35:31The question is…
35:32What gets built in that place…
35:33How much of a patchwork…
35:34Is it…
35:35How much is it…
35:36Just on a bilateral basis…
35:38Or…
35:39Where do like-minded countries…
35:40In certain areas…
35:41So…
35:42Like-minded countries…
35:43Just to be clear…
35:44Doesn't mean you agree on everything…
35:46So…
35:47Aspects…
35:48For example…
35:50On digital trade…
35:51Or agricultural trade…
35:53Climate finance…
35:54As another area…
35:55To move into…
35:58Areas of…
36:00Geostrategy…
36:01Geo…
36:02Geosecurity…
36:03You will have different coalitions…
36:05That are formed…
36:07So…
36:08What this…
36:09Partnership…
36:10Does…
36:11Is…
36:12In areas…
36:13For example…
36:14Of clean energy…
36:15Conventional energy…
36:16Agriculture…
36:17As we were just talking about…
36:18And…
36:19Financial services…
36:20Which we've talked less about…
36:22But…
36:23The evolution of the global financial system…
36:25The role of the renminbi…
36:27Over time…
36:28The evolution of cross-border payments…
36:30I know it all sounds very dry…
36:31Except for…
36:32Your organization…
36:33Which I think…
36:34Takes an interest in it…
36:35These are important…
36:37Elements…
36:38Of how the system is going to work…
36:40And…
36:41Look…
36:42The expectation is…
36:43That…
36:44Rather than these being developed…
36:46Necessarily…
36:47Through the IMF…
36:48WTO…
36:49And other multilateral organizations…
36:51It is going to be coalitions…
36:53That develop them…
36:54Not for the world…
36:55But for…
36:56Subsectors…
36:57Subsectors…
36:58Of the world…
36:59Okay…
37:00Next question…
37:01Tom…
37:02Hi Prime Minister…
37:03Tom Perry…
37:04With CBC…
37:05I know that you're talking about…
37:06China offering stability…
37:07There are still…
37:08Of course though…
37:09Concerns in this country…
37:10About human rights…
37:11Yes…
37:12About freedom of expression…
37:13To get into your calculations…
37:14Are these things that Canada…
37:15Just can't afford…
37:16To think about…
37:17Because we've got to diversify…
37:19Our markets…
37:20No…
37:21We…
37:22Look…
37:23We…
37:24Fundamentally…
37:25Stand up for human rights…
37:26We stand up for democracy…
37:27Territorial integrity…
37:29Rights to self-determination…
37:31We…
37:33Take the world as it is…
37:34Not as we wish it…
37:36To be…
37:38That means the following…
37:40We do engage…
37:42With countries…
37:43We calibrate…
37:44That engagement…
37:45Depending…
37:46On our values…
37:47And our interests…
37:48So…
37:49That engagement…
37:50Is more narrow…
37:51When…
37:52There are those issues…
37:53We…
37:55Also…
37:56Have…
37:57If you will…
37:58A…
37:59Sort of value-based realism…
38:00To…
38:01The approach…
38:02In other words…
38:03We will engage…
38:04On those issues…
38:05We'll engage…
38:06With coalitions…
38:07With those countries…
38:08With which we share…
38:09Those broader values…
38:10I will give you…
38:11A current example…
38:12Of the last point…
38:13Which is…
38:14We are a member…
38:15As you know…
38:16Of the coalition…
38:17Of the willing…
38:18To back Ukraine…
38:19And…
38:20That is an example…
38:21Those countries…
38:22In that coalition…
38:23Over 30 countries…
38:24Share…
38:25Values…
38:26On a broad range…
38:27Including all of those…
38:28That I just…
38:29Mentioned…
38:30With other countries…
38:31Our engagement…
38:32Is more…
38:33Narrow…
38:34It's more…
38:35Specific…
38:36And…
38:37We keep within…
38:38Those guardrails…
38:39And…
38:40For those…
38:41Relationships…
38:42We're very…
38:43Clear…
38:44We're very…
38:45Clear…
38:46And…
38:47We keep within…
38:48Those guardrails…
38:49And…
38:50For those…
38:51Relationships…
38:52We're very clear…
38:54About where we will cooperate…
38:55Where we differ…
38:57We'll have those engagements…
38:58But in a way…
38:59That looks to make progress…
39:01Can I just…
39:02Just ask you a follow-up…
39:03Sort of like…
39:04In your meetings…
39:05Over the last couple of days…
39:06Did any of these issues…
39:07Come up…
39:08Yes…
39:09Yes…
39:10That was your follow-up…
39:11I guess…
39:12How…
39:13How…
39:14How did you discuss that…
39:15In your…
39:16We're going to move on…
39:17To the next question…
39:18How did you discuss that…
39:19In your questions…
39:20Oui…
39:21We're…
39:24We're on…
39:25On are…
39:26Onars…
39:27Onars…
39:28Des questions…
39:29Yes…
39:30Next question…
39:31Maria…
39:32Thanks…
39:33Maria Chang from Reuters…
39:34Just for a follow-up…
39:35Can you tell us…
39:36Specifically…
39:37How you raised…
39:38These concerns…
39:39About human rights…
39:40Did you…
39:41Address the issue…
39:42Of things like…
39:43Jimmy Lai…
39:44Um…
39:45Concerns…
39:46About Taiwan…
39:47Violations…
39:48Violations…
39:49Of human rights…
39:50With respect to Mr. Lai, Canada led a G7 statement in the course of recent weeks calling for his humanitarian release, a foreign minister's statement.
40:04These issues were raised in our broader discussions over the past few days.
40:09With respect to One China and Taiwan and expectations of our longstanding policy, I think I answered this earlier.
40:18But just to be clear, we had a clear exchange in terms of what our policy is and a reaffirmation of, as I say, our longstanding policy.
40:28We have different systems.
40:31Let's take a step back.
40:33We have different systems, Canada and China.
40:37That has several consequences, one of which is the breadth of our engagement with China.
40:42We respect the differences in each other's systems.
40:50It does mean that our cooperation is more focused and more limited.
40:55But to have the effective relationship, we have the direct conversations.
41:00We don't grab a megaphone and have the conversations that way.
41:04And we'll have time for one last question, Kyle.
41:06I'd like to know what Canada is doing to protect the integrity of Greenland.
41:19And related, China fashions itself a near-Arctic power and with some claims to Arctic resources.
41:27So I wonder if you could answer that question, what we're doing to help protect Greenland's integrity,
41:31and how do you feel about China's claims, such as they are, to Arctic resources?
41:36Well, several aspects of that.
41:40The first, with respect to Greenland, the future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and for the Kingdom of Denmark.
41:50We are NATO partners with Denmark, and so our full partnership stands.
41:55Our obligations on Article 5, Article 2 of NATO stand, and we stand fuller square behind those.
42:04Thirdly, with respect to our relations with Greenland, as you know, we've opened our consulate.
42:11As you may know, the Governor General is visiting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
42:18There she is.
42:18No rest for you.
42:22Going to NUC in the first week of February, we'll be there.
42:26We're in discussions with our NATO partners and with Denmark about Arctic security through various fora,
42:35through bilaterally with Greenland and very much with Denmark,
42:40through the Nordic countries, Nordic-Baltic gate.
42:44And as you know, maybe just remind others that we've taken decisive steps in terms of Arctic security over the course of this year.
42:54One of the first things that I did as Prime Minister was to move our Arctic presence from four months a year
43:02to 365 days a year on land, sea, and in air, and we will continue to reinforce that.
43:11But I will say that I had discussions with President Xi about the situation in Greenland,
43:20about our sovereignty in the Arctic, about the sovereignty of the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark,
43:28and I found much alignment of views in that regard.
43:32And in regard to Greenland, the President Xi, the position Canadian in Greenland is the future of Greenland
43:51and the future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and Denmark.
43:57OK, premier point.
43:58Deuxième point, nous sommes des alliés.
44:00Nous sommes des alliés dans l'OTAN et le Canada est ferme, est clair.
44:06Nous avons des obligations, des engagements comme un partenaire dans un allié,
44:10comme un allié dans l'OTAN par rapport au Greenland et au Danemark.
44:16Et nous allons respecter nos engagements.
44:20Et nous nous attendons que les autres membres de l'OTAN respectent leurs engagements.
44:27Peut-être ça suffit.
44:30C'était la même, c'était, non, c'est une courte à transaction.
44:36We respect our obligations and our responsibilities in NATO,
44:40and we expect all NATO partners to do the same.
44:44This puts it into our press conference.
44:45C'est ce qu'il m'a fait à notre conférence de presse.
44:47Merci.
44:47Merci beaucoup.
44:49Ouf.
