Carney: ‘If you are not at the table, you are on the menu’

Carney said the world’s middle powers must unite to resist coercion by aggressive superpowers, warning that traditional assumptions about global order no longer hold.

“If great powers abandon even the pretence of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate.”

“So we’re engaging broadly, strategically with open eyes,” he said. “We actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be.”
