Kosiniak-Kamysz traveled to Ottawa in May<\/a> and signed a Letter of Intent with McGuinty covering Canadian purchases of Polish drones, joint military drills in the Arctic, and early discussions about building ammunition production capacity in Canada. That May visit also highlighted Canada\u2019s status in the EU\u2019s SAFE defense financing mechanism, worth up to \u20ac150 billion in loans and procurement support. Canada signed on in late 2025, making it the sole participant from outside Europe.<\/p>\n

Kosiniak-Kamysz called the relationship the strongest it\u2019s ever been. \u201cPolish-Canadian relations have never been so good,\u201d he said, crediting Poland\u2019s early advocacy for Canada\u2019s inclusion in the SAFE program even as the UK failed to meet the requirements to join.<\/p>\n
