Ahead of the 2025 NATO Summit, Canada and the EU formalized a Security and Defence Partnership aimed at strengthening transatlantic ties through coordinated defence spending, industrial collaboration, and technological innovation. This agreement supports the EU’s Rearm Europe initiative, which is designed to mobilize resources to enhance European military capabilities.
On this week’s Expert Series, Wendy Gilmour, Bernd Althusman, Sven Biscop, Rafael Loss, and Jean-Pierre Maulny joined us to discuss how Canada can deepen its integration with the EU through its involvement in Rearm Europe/Readiness 2030 and the Security and Defence Partnership.
