On the eve of the inaugural “Canada Investment Summit,” Canadian Prime Minister Carney delivered a speech on the 13th, stating that Canada is taking charge of its own future—a brand new consensus reached domestically regarding economic transformation and the country’s development direction.The first “Canada Investment Summit” is scheduled to take place from the 14th to the 15th in Toronto, Canada’s largest city. The “Canada Investment Summit” is a key strategic initiative aimed at attracting major project investments, with the goal of drawing a total investment of 1 trillion Canadian dollars (1 USD ≈ 1.39 CAD) to Canada over the next five years. The summit will focus on showcasing Canada’s list of priority projects in fields such as energy, critical minerals, advanced technology, and major infrastructure. It aims to serve as a bridge linking global capital to Canada’s key projects, further strengthening supply chain resilience, boosting productivity, and reducing dependence on the United States.At a welcome dinner for Canadian business leaders, Carney said: “We will undertake more construction, promote trade both domestically and with the world, and create sustainable prosperity at home.”Carney said: “We are defining a new era for Canada. This is a fundamental Canadian belief: seeking common ground while accommodating differences.”He noted that Canada possesses energy, resources, talent, technology, and capital, and that Canada’s greatest advantage is “trust.” “As long as we remain united, what we grant ourselves cannot be taken away by any external force.” (Xinhua News Agency)
