Princess Margriet was born here in Ottawa during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. After the war, her mother, Princess Juliana, gifted 100,000 tulip bulbs to Canada in gratitude for the leading role Canadian soldiers played in liberating the people of the Netherlands, and for providing refuge to the Dutch Royal Family. Every year, the Canadian Tulip Festival serves as a symbol of the lasting friendship between our two nations. It was an honour to meet Princess Margriet in Ottawa today.

Canada is ready to lead this effort. The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank will provide low-cost financing for critical defence projects in participating countries. By pooling credit strength, we’ll build our military capacity and create good jobs across our defence sectors.

Canada and Germany are working together to strengthen Euro-Atlantic security. I spoke with @bundeskanzler earlier today to talk about the ongoing negotiations towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, deepening our trade cooperation, and our support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark, including Greenland.
