The meeting follows a proposal for Canada to become the European Union’s first associate member.
French President Emmanuel Macron is visiting a remote French territory in the North Atlantic and hosting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney amid growing tensions with Washington.
The rare visit, reported by France 24 International, is being presented as a symbolic diplomatic engagement between France and Canada. The territory has not been identified in the available material.
The meeting follows a proposal from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to make Canada the European Union’s first associate member.
That proposal has not been described as an agreed EU decision, and the practical implications or status of any potential associate membership remain unspecified.
The full agenda for Macron and Carney’s meeting has not been provided. The visit comes against a broader backdrop of tensions involving Canada, France and the United States.
