The European Union (EU) is aiming to strengthen its cooperation with like-minded countries to secure its supply of so-called critical raw materials. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen considers Canada a “perfect match” – a resource-rich and reliable partner that shares the EU’s geopolitical interests and sustainability goals. Canada is seeking to diversify its supply chains and counteract the influence of Chinese actors in its mining industry through a policy of friendshoring. To this end, the Canadian government has shown itself to be far more open to cooperation with the EU regarding raw material supply chains and key industries compared to the United States (US) government. It would be beneficial for both sides to deepen this cooperation. However, to truly make this partnership a perfect match, the EU should offer stronger financial incentives for the integration of European and Canadian industries, promote scientific exchange and technical collaboration, and advocate for robust corporate due diligence in supply chains.
« Christianisme et Islam : au service de la fraternité dans un monde divisé », tel était le thème des troisièmes Rencontres théologiques méditerranéennes, auxquelles participaient pour la première fois de jeunes théologiens et enseignants musulmans. À l'initiative de ces Rencontres, l'archevêque de Rijeka, Mgr Mate Uzinić, s'impose comme une figure d'ouverture dans l'Église croate.
