April 28 (Reuters) - ‌Canadian Prime ​Minister ​Mark Carney has been invited to attend next ‌month's summit of the European Political ⁠Community (EPC) in Armenia, European Council President ‌Antonio Costa said ‌on Tuesday, adding that this marked the first time that ​a non-European country was taking part in the event.

• "Europe and ⁠Canada are more than just like-minded partners - ​together we are building a global alliance to defend peace, ​shared prosperity and multilateralism," ‌wrote Costa on X.

• The European Political Community, ⁠whose forthcoming meeting is due on May 4 in Armenia, is ⁠a gathering of nearly 50 heads of ​state and government, including from the EU-27, Britain, Norway, Switzerland and Ukraine.

• Canada ‌has been looking to strengthen its trade ties ‌with Europe in light of ⁠persistent tensions with ‌the administration of ​U.S. President Donald Trump.
