Canada Boosts Defense Ties With Denmark
At the Munich Security Conference on Friday, the Honourable David J. McGuinty, Minister of National Defence, alongside Denmark's Minister of Defence Troels Lund Poulsen, his Faroese counterpart SiriĆ° Stenberg and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt, signed a Canada-Denmark Defence Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The agreement strengthens defence cooperation across several key areas, including defence innovation, materiel and industrial cooperation, mutual logistics support, and personnel, training, exercises and education. The MOU reflects a shared commitment to transatlantic security and reinforces cooperation between North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allies at a time of increasing complexity in the global security environment.
This agreement builds on the strong momentum in the defence relationship between Canada and the Kingdom of Denmark, including Denmark joining Canada's Maritime Security Partnership at the NATO Summit on June 25, 2025. Together, these initiatives demonstrate a shared commitment to deepening practical cooperation in the North Atlantic and the High North.
Canada and the Kingdom of Denmark are close and like-minded Allies, connected by geography and aligned in defence priorities. Both countries have built a strong defence relationship over decades of practical cooperation and a common dedication to regional security and strengthening wider Euro-Atlantic security.
