"In the old world, and even to a degree today, the temptation has been to see ourselves as competitors. In this new world, we should be strategic collaborators. To boost investments, accelerate technical cooperation, enhance supply chain resilience, expand our domestic processing abilities, while boosting our strategic autonomy."
"Carney said the US and Israeli strikes appeared to be unlawful in that they were not made with UN Security Council support, or in the face of imminent threat. The action that was taken, we weren't consulted on it. There was not a process, a broader process for it. It would appear, prima facie to be inconsistent with international law."
Canada's prime minister Mark Carney addressed the Australian parliament, advocating for enhanced cooperation between Canada and Australia on critical minerals, defence, and trade. Australia joined the G7 critical minerals alliance, the world's largest grouping of democracies with major mineral reserves. Together, the two nations control substantial global supplies: 34% of lithium, 32% of uranium, and 41% of iron ore. Carney emphasized shifting from viewing each other as competitors to becoming strategic collaborators to boost investments, accelerate technical cooperation, enhance supply chain resilience, and expand domestic processing capabilities. He also addressed international law concerns regarding US and Israeli strikes on Iran, stating these actions appeared unlawful without UN Security Council support or imminent threat justification.
