Canada and the Philippines have concluded negotiations for a free trade agreement, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Saturday while in Manila for the ASEAN summit. The agreement is part of Canada’s strategy to diversify its trade relations and reduce its dependence on the United States, amid deteriorating relations with Washington.

The talks were launched a year ago, and the Canadian government intends to act quickly to finalize the document. Signing the agreement could take approximately six months, with the agreement expected to enter into force in 2027.

The deal is expected to benefit sectors such as agriculture, aerospace, artificial intelligence, mining, energy, forest products and services. Ottawa is also pursuing a broader trade agreement with ASEAN, an organization made up of 11 states; according to Carney, negotiations are nearly complete.

Canada aims to double its exports to markets outside the United States by 2035. As part of this effort, the country is also strengthening its trade relations with Europe and Asian countries. Mark Carney is scheduled to visit Cambodia and China, while Donald Trump will arrive in Manila ahead of the APEC summit in Shenzhen.

Context: Carney a împins apropierea Canadei de UE, iar UE negociază deja cu Filipine un acord comercial ambițios

Înaintea anunțului despre acordul Canada–Filipine, premierul canadian Mark Carney a susținut în repetate rânduri că Ottawa nu acceptă ca Statele Unite să dicteze condițiile relațiilor comerciale și a salutat direcția spre o cooperare mai strânsă cu Uniunea Europeană. Carney a prezentat apropierea ca parte a unei strategii de a consolida reziliența Canadei și a sugerat extinderea cooperării inclusiv în domenii precum mineralele critice, apărarea, inteligența artificială, securitatea energetică și comerțul digital.

Paralel, Bruxelles negocia cu Filipine o înțelegere care prevede liberalizarea a peste 94% din liniile tarifare și deschiderea accesului la achizițiile publice filipineze, împreună cu reguli pentru comerțul digital și protecția datelor și a consumatorilor. Negociatorii urmau să finalizeze detaliile tehnice înainte de aprobări, iar discuțiile au fost ancorate și în condiții legate de drepturile omului și Acordul de la Paris.
