Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to travel to Europe for this year’s G7 leaders’ summit, with his trip scheduled from June 11 to 17.
During his first bilateral visit in nearly a decade, Carney will meet with international allies and partners to address a range of global issues and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
While in Paris, he is expected to focus on strengthening Canada’s partnership with France, particularly in areas such as trade, defence, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and critical minerals.
Carney will also travel to Ireland, where discussions will centre on expanding co-operation in sectors including agri-food, AI, pharmaceuticals, and climate. Carney says, “Ireland and France are two of Canada’s closest and longest-standing partners. In an increasingly uncertain world, we are deepening these ties – and those across the G7 – to build greater certainty, security, and prosperity for Canadians and our partners across the globe.”
The prime minister says Canada has secured more than 20 economic and security partnerships over the past year and aims to build a stronger, more prosperous future through continued collaboration.
