  Communiqué de presse Le 9 octobre 2018 — Ottawa — Défense nationale/Forces armées canadiennes Le Canada et le Mexique ont des questions d'intérêt commun et sont résolus à accroître la sécurité et la prospérité de leur pays respectif. Ils sont tous deux déterminés à tisser des liens plus étroits en matière de défense et à intensifier les relations panaméricaines. Le Canada apporte aux Amériques un soutien multiforme qui contribue à la sécurité et à la stabilité de la région, tout en adhérant aux valeurs des Canadiennes et des Canadiens et en les incarnant. Pour souligner ces priorités communes, le ministre de la Défense nationale Harjit Sajjan a signé aujourd'hui l'accord de coopération en matière de défense Canada‑Mexique avec le général Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda, secrétaire de la Défense nationale, et l'amiral Vidal Francisco Sob‎erón Sanz, secrétaire de la Marine. La signature de cet accord bilatéral de coopération en matière de défense marque un important pas en avant dans l'évolution des relations entre le Canada et le Mexique. Cet accord de coopération en matière de défense fournira un mécanisme permettant de collaborer davantage dans un certain nombre de domaines clés, dont l'éducation, la formation et le renforcement des capacités en matière de défense, le matériel de défense, les opérations de soutien de la paix, l'aide humanitaire et les secours en cas de catastrophe.
