MELBOURNE, Australia — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed regret in supporting the strikes on Iran, citing them as a clear indication of the crumbling world order.
Speaking at the Lowy Institute in Sydney during a trade-focused visit, Carney highlighted the increasing unilateral actions of global powers and the resulting turmoil in the Middle East.
Carney emphasized that Canada was not informed or involved in the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes, which he viewed as potentially violating international law.
Despite Canada’s support for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, Carney lamented the failure of the international order in addressing the current conflict.
Building on his earlier remarks at the World Economic Forum, Carney underscored the need for cooperation between Canada and Australia in critical mineral resources, artificial intelligence, and defense technologies.
Both countries possess significant mineral reserves and are working together to strengthen their strategic partnership in various sectors.
