Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke alongside his Australian counterpart, Anthony Albanese, on Thursday. The leaders of both nations stressed a need for de-escalation, but also their desire for an end to Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Carney did not rule out Canada’s participation in the conflict, saying that Canada would “stand by its allies.”
Carney is on a multi-leg trip across the Asia-Pacific region, also taking in Japan and India. His stop in Australia included the first address to Australia’s parliament by a Canadian leader since 2007.
