Canada will announce this week that it is joining its CANZUK partners – Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom – in a group to boost economic ties with Pacific island nations.
“We’re pleased to be part of early discussions to help frame this initiative, and I am happy to announce Canada will be joining as a full member,” Canada’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Melanie Joly will tell diplomats during the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week.

The remarks by Minister Joly are drafted in a speech she will deliver at an event hosted by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The United States created the informal group, dubbed Partners in the Blue Pacific in June, consisting of the CANZUK countries plus the USA and Japan. The group aims to strengthen economic ties between the Pacific islands and the rest of the world, as competition for influence in the Pacific islands has intensified with China in recent months.

China has already signed a security agreement with the Solomon Islands, prompting warnings of a militarization of the region.

The increased cooperation of the CANZUK countries has continued to develop in recent years, demonstrating a cohesive alliance that seeks to build off of the already existing Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance, consisting of all four CANZUK nations and the USA.

CANZUK International welcomes the news of Canada increasing its security ties with the CANZUK nations – in addition to the United States and Japan – and will continue to advocate for further collaboration between the CANZUK countries through the United Nations and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance.
