Cooperation Canada Welcomes New Prime Minister of Canada

Cooperation Canada congratulates Mark Carney on becoming the 24th Prime Minister of Canada.

At a time of global uncertainty, Canada has a unique opportunity to lead—defending human rights, strengthening global stability and building a safer, more prosperous future.

“As host of the G7 in 2025, Canada stands at a pivotal moment,” said Kate Higgins, CEO of Cooperation Canada. “This is our chance to step up, reaffirm our leadership on the world stage, and ensure our engagement reflects Canada’s values and interests.”

Global security and Canada’s security are deeply connected. International aid is not just about helping others—it is a strategic investment in Canada’s stability and prosperity. Cooperation Canada urges the government to take bold action, strengthening alliances and reinforcing Canada’s role as a force for global cooperation.

“We look forward to working with Prime Minister Carney, his government and all Canadian leaders, to ensure Canada meets this moment and helps shape a more secure, just and prosperous world,” added Higgins.
