Sheinbaum and Carney strengthen Mexico-Canada relations after the G7 summit.

In a new step toward strengthening the strategic relationship between Mexico and Canada , President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo held a telephone conversation with Prime Minister Mark Carney , with whom she followed up on the agreements and initiatives proposed at the G7 summit held in Kananaskis a month ago.
The remote meeting, beyond diplomatic formality, demonstrated both nations' clear intention to deepen their commercial, cultural, and mutual cooperation ties . In a turbulent global context, Mexico and Canada have sought to position themselves as reliable partners, and this meeting represents another step toward consolidating that relationship.
One of the central topics of the dialogue was the environmental crisis caused by the forest fires affecting various Canadian regions. President Sheinbaum expressed the solidarity of the Mexican people in the face of the devastation caused by the fires, and Carney emphatically expressed his gratitude for Mexico's operational support , which has sent more than 200 forest firefighters to assist with control and extinguishment efforts.
This gesture is no small feat. In times of climate change and natural disasters, transnational cooperation takes on a new level of relevance. And Mexico has once again demonstrated its commitment to humanitarian aid, even beyond its borders.
During their in-person meeting in June, both Sheinbaum and Carney highlighted the value of the bilateral relationship not only in terms of trade—where the USMCA remains a fundamental pillar—but also in the areas of cultural exchange, academic mobility, and climate diplomacy .
Both governments have agreed on their progressive vision and interest in addressing common challenges such as climate justice, the energy transition , and the promotion of labor rights . Tuesday's telephone exchange only reaffirms that the desire for cooperation remains strong and that both leaders have long-term projects in mind.
The Mexican government announced via social media that the meeting aimed to follow up on the Kananaskis Agreements and explore new avenues for collaboration . While no specific measures were announced, the groundwork was laid for future state visits, joint investment forums, and possible scholarship and technology exchange programs.
The relationship is expected to strengthen in the coming months, particularly in key areas such as clean energy, trade logistics, sustainable tourism, and cooperation in civil protection .
At a time of global geopolitical tensions, where polarization and trade blocs seem to redefine alliances, the relationship between Mexico and Canada emerges as a model of understanding and pragmatism .
Both countries have managed to maintain their ties beyond political cycles, and with Claudia Sheinbaum's arrival to power , everything indicates that continuity and respect for international commitments will be pillars of their foreign policy.
