Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which caught the attention of Mexico, a country facing similar challenges as Canada with its powerful U.S. neighbor. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum praised Carney’s speech as timely and insightful during a press conference, emphasizing the importance of his message.
In his address, Carney highlighted the disappearance of the illusion of a rules-based international order and urged middle-power nations to either compete individually for influence or join forces to chart a new path.

The Canadian government, under Carney’s leadership, has been actively strengthening its relationship with Mexico to uphold the trilateral trade agreement involving the U.S., known in Canada as the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
Following a recent visit by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon to Mexico City, where discussions with President Sheinbaum focused on Indigenous reconciliation, both countries are gearing up for a significant trade mission led by Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc.
‘We need to ally ourselves with Canada’
Federal Deputy Dolores Padierna Luna of Mexico’s National Regeneration Movement (Morena) party commended the meeting between Governor-General Simon and President Sheinbaum, emphasizing the importance of deeper collaboration between Canada and Mexico.
Padierna Luna highlighted the significance of building stronger ties with Canada, echoing sentiments expressed by Mexico’s former president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
