Canada Signs Security Agreement with Ukraine

Canada has formalized a General Security of Information Agreement with Ukraine, strengthening bilateral military cooperation. This agreement, signed during the NATO Ministers meeting in Brussels, ensures secure information sharing between the two nations, enhancing interoperability and defence collaboration. This move aligns with Canada's ongoing support for Ukraine's sovereignty following Russia's 2022 invasion. The agreement contributes to broader international defence partnerships, potentially impacting Canadian defence contractors involved in projects requiring secure data exchange.
