In an increasingly interconnected world, international cooperation is essential to addressing evolving security threats and strengthening public safety for Canadians.
Today, the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on public safety cooperation between Public Safety Canada and the Ministry of Interior of the State of Qatar.
The purpose of this MOU is to strengthen and enhance existing relations of mutual cooperation between Canada and the State of Qatar. It supports Canada's position as a strong, reliable partner and echoes new partnerships with Qatar following the Prime Minister's visit in Doha, Qatar in January 2026.
Within this framework, both countries will support the facilitation of arrangements between their respective competent authorities, including the Qatar National Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), to advance police-to-police cooperation.
