Anand welcomes Turkish counterpart as two countries explore nuclear deal
Ottawa is pitching Candu reactors and uranium fuel as Turkey considers eight new large-scale nuclear plants, officials said.
- On Friday, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced Canada formally expressed interest in partnering with Turkey on nuclear power after hosting Turkish Foreign Affairs Minister Hakan Fidan in Ottawa.
- During his visit to Ontario's Darlington nuclear generating station on Thursday, Fidan emphasized Turkey's need for nuclear power while reviewing Candu reactor technology for potential large-scale deployment.
- Candu reactors do not rely on enriched uranium, a feature Fidan noted appeals to Turkey; Canada aims to engage six to 10 new nuclear markets over a 15-year horizon.
- Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson sent a letter to the Turkish government expressing Canada's desire for nuclear cooperation; Anand noted these discussions remain "in early days."
- Prime Minister Mark Carney pursues stronger trade relationships beyond the United States, though historical bilateral tensions persist over Canada's Armenian diaspora policies and past arms restrictions.
