Prime Minister Mark Carney meets with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. The Canadian bilateral meeting follows a welcoming ceremony that Carney held as G7 chair outside.

Carney says Rutte is “one of the most experienced leaders in the world” and that “we’re very fortunate…that he’s taken on these responsibilities to lead NATO at this crucial time.”

Rutte praised Canada’s decision to increase Canada’s defence spending to meet NATO’s two-per-cent target.
