Canada Prime Minister Carney Teams Up With Albanese as ‘Strategic Cousins’
Canada’s PM Mark Carney, during his current visit to Australia as of 5th March as his last day in the country, had offered Australia PM Albanese the chance to become ‘strategic cousins’ to combat the world’s rising superpowers.
As stated by Carney, world leaders in this new world should be strategic collaborators. The benefits include boosting investments, accelerating technical cooperation, enhancing supply chain resilience, expanding our domestic processing abilities, and contributing to strategic autonomy. He also remarked that leaders must work with other middle powers to build their sovereign AI capabilities, so they will not be caught between hyper-scalers and hegemons.
Carney, in a speech to the Lowy Institute in Sydney on Wednesday night, has also softened his support for US and Israeli strikes on Iran. While he welcomed the end of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s regime, he also admitted that he did not believe the attacks on Iran were legal, and that they represent “another example of the failure of the international order”.
