Canada and Finland sign Joint Statement on Sovereign Technology and AI Cooperation

Prime Minister Mark Carney and President of Finland Alexander Stubb sign a joint statement in Ottawa setting out expanded bilateral cooperation on sovereign technology, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, Arctic and maritime issues, and defence. The statement commits both countries to deepen AI collaboration, including exploring frontier AI models with safety and responsibility as foundational design principles, and exploring Finland's participation in the Sovereign Technology Alliance (launched with Germany in February 2026). OECD and GPAI are cited as existing multilateral channels through which the two countries already cooperate on AI.
