PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday (Sep 20) welcomed Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney to France's tiny North Atlantic territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, just off the Canadian coast.
The leaders' meeting was being held at a time when both their countries are experiencing strained relations with the United States.
They were expected to confirm Canada's close relations with both France and the European Union in a joint statement following a working lunch.
"In a world in crisis, our friendship is a strength," Macron posted on X, below a video of him welcoming Carney at the airport.

"Together, we affirm our sovereignty, our freedom to decide and our willingness to build a future of peace and prosperity," he added.
Macron's three-day visit to the French territory, a three-island archipelago of fewer than 6,000 people just 25 kilometres (15 miles) off Newfoundland, is the first by a French president in more than a decade.
The trip carries significant symbolic resonance.
The archipelago is France's only remaining possession in North America, a vestige of the vast territories Paris once controlled in what is now Canada and the United States.
Macron argues that US President Donald Trump's second mandate has reinforced his argument that Europe needs to become more sovereign, especially on security.
Carney, caught up in an intensifying dispute with US President Donald Trump - who has even threatened to annex Canada - has welcomed a proposal for his country to become the European Union's first "associate member".
Trump's repeated remarks about making Canada the 51st US state have been strongly rejected by Ottawa.

巴黎：法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周日（9月20日）在法国位于北大西洋的狭小领地圣皮埃尔和密克隆群岛（紧邻加拿大海岸）欢迎加拿大总理马克·卡尼到访。
此次领导人会晤正值两国与美国关系紧张之际。
预计他们在工作午餐后将发表联合声明，确认加拿大与法国和欧盟的密切关系。
“在危机四伏的世界里，我们的友谊是一种力量，”马克龙在X上写道，并在下方发布了一段他在机场迎接卡尼的视频。

他补充说：“我们共同重申我们的主权、我们的决策自由以及我们建设和平繁荣未来的意愿。”
马克龙对法国海外领地进行了为期三天的访问。该领地由三个岛屿组成，人口不足 6000 人，距离纽芬兰仅 25 公里（15 英里）。这是十多年来法国总统首次访问该领地。
这次旅行具有重要的象征意义。
该群岛是法国在北美仅存的领土，是巴黎曾经控制的、如今位于加拿大和美国的广袤领土的遗迹。
马克龙认为，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的第二个任期强化了他的观点，即欧洲需要变得更加自主，尤其是在安全方面。
卡尼与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普之间的争端日益加剧——特朗普甚至威胁要吞并加拿大——但他对加拿大成为欧盟第一个“准成员国”的提议表示欢迎。
特朗普多次表示要让加拿大成为美国第51个州，这一言论遭到了渥太华的强烈反对。
