Canada stands with Romania and strongly condemns last night’s reckless Russian drone incursion in Galați, which injured two people. Another escalation in Russia’s unjust war of aggression against Ukraine.
This incident is a serious violation of Romanian airspace and international law by Russia. Canada and our NATO Allies remain ready to defend allied territory.

That’s a wrap on the NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting, the last before the Summit.
Minister Anand: "To be here in Sweden is a moment of unity and of pride".
Thank you to @SwedenNATO for hosting their first #ForMin after becoming a NATO member in 2024. See you soon in Ankara! 🇸🇪🇨🇦🇹🇷

Last June, we announced our plan to transform Canada’s defence. A plan to protect Canadians — and achieve the NATO 2% target, half a decade ahead of schedule.
Today, we met that target.

Nous saluons les progrès réalisés pour la sécurité de l'Arctique grâce à l'action conjointe de l'OTAN.
Nous collaborerons avec nos alliés de l'OTAN, dont les huit pays nordiques et baltes, pour défendre la région et renforcer la sécurité des flancs nord et ouest de l'Alliance.
Attributable to NATO Spokesperson Allison Hart:
The Secretary General had a very productive meeting with President Trump during which they discussed the critical significance of security in the Arctic region to all Allies, including the United States.
Discussions among NATO Allies on the framework the President referenced will focus on ensuring Arctic security through the collective efforts of Allies, especially the seven Arctic Allies. Negotiations between Denmark, Greenland, and the United States will go forward aimed at ensuring that Russia and China never gain a foothold - economically or militarily - in Greenland.

Pleased with this progress to increase Arctic security through joint NATO action.
With our NATO allies, including the Nordic Baltic 8, Canada will fully participate in the defence of the region and further securing the alliance’s northern and western flanks.

🇺🇦🇨🇦 Canada in partnership with other NATO countries will purchase a package of critical military capabilities sourced from the US under the PURL initiative. Canada’s contribution to this PURL package will be CAD $200 million.
This brings the total of Canada’s contribution to PURL to approximately CAD $892 million.
I’m grateful to our Canadian friends, especially to my counterpart @DavidMcGuinty, for their steadfast support.

The ties between Canada and Sweden are founded on shared values and decades of cooperation in defence, trade, and investment.
To expand that further, we just launched a new strategic partnership to connect our industries and workers in key sectors like critical minerals, clean energy, and defence.

Dans une Alliance, l'interopérabilité est clé.
Ravie d'être à Cincu 🇷🇴 pour observer l'exercice de niveau brigade mené par la Division multinationale Sud-Est de l'OTAN. Impressionnant de voir une telle intégration entre 9 Alliés sur terre et dans les airs. #PlusFortsEnsemble
In an Alliance, interoperability is everything. Delighted to be in Cincu 🇷🇴 to observe the Brigade level exercise #DAFA25 led by NATO Multinational Division South East.
Impressive to witness such seamless integration among 9 Allies on land and in the air. #StrongerTogether
Great exchange with @taraskachka at #NATO after we met last week in Kyiv. Also a symbolic moment, on #RemembranceDay and the anniversary of Kherson’s liberation, as Ukraine carries the torch in defence of Euro-Atlantic security and our shared values.
At Ukraine-NATO Council, briefed Allies on 🇺🇦’s key reforms toward NATO standards and interoperability, the current battlefield situation, urgent defence needs, and efforts to protect our energy sector.
NATO’s recommendations will be vital for next year’s security & defence reforms. 🤝 Deeply grateful to all @NATO member states for their unwavering support in our fight against ru aggression.

Canada’s commitment to NATO is unwavering. Together, we’re strengthening collective defence, delivering critical support to Ukraine, and ensuring NATO stays agile, united, and ready for today’s security challenges—and those ahead.
La semaine dernière, j'ai accueilli le groupe Women in International Security de l'OTAN pour discuter de la manière dont les femmes occupant des postes à responsabilité relèvent les défis actuels en matière de sécurité.
Ayant passé ma carrière dans le domaine de la sécurité internationale, je sais par expérience à quel point les espaces de connexion et de mentorat sont essentiels. Merci #WIIS.
