- Carney and Irish leaders announced a bilateral co‑operation framework covering trade and investment, life sciences, research and innovation, and security and defence to deepen practical ties.
- He used Dublin speeches and the Mayo engagements to warn of a ‘‘global rupture’’ in the rules‑based order and to urge closer Canada–Ireland–Europe coordination.
- Carney told reporters that progress toward a more durable ceasefire with Iran is ‘‘topic number one’’ for the G7 and that Ukraine will be the summit’s second priority.
- Irish officials framed the timing as strategic for Canada’s ties to the EU before Ireland’s EU presidency on July 1, highlighting AI, pharmaceuticals, biotech, critical minerals and the unresolved CETA ratification as areas to watch.
