🇨🇦🇳🇱The friendship between Canada and the Netherlands is very close and goes back a long way. The Canadians played a crucial role in liberating our country. And more than a million people with Dutch roots live in Canada. We work together closely in the international arena, for example within NATO and in supporting Ukraine.
This afternoon I had an introductory phone conversation with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. We both have many serious concerns about the war in Iran and its impact on the region and the wider world. Along with our international partners, we are monitoring the situation closely and seeking solutions. At the same time, we remain fully focused on the war in Ukraine. During the call we also discussed opportunities to expand our cooperation in the areas of security, the defence industry, energy and trade.
