Canada to be first non-European nation at EPC summit as Carney seeks allies
PM’s attendance at European Political Community meeting in Yerevan seen as part of effort to build new ties after US rupture
Canada is to become the first non-European country to attend a meeting of the European Political Community when the prime minister, Mark Carney, joins Monday’s summit of the 48-plus nation grouping in Yerevan, Armenia.
