Prime Minister Mark Carney will depart for Europe on Sunday to attend two high-level summits focused on security, trade, and global cooperation, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Wednesday.
The trip follows Carney’s role as host of this year’s G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, where he emphasized Canada’s leadership on economic stability and global diplomacy. His next stop will be Brussels, where he will meet with European Union leaders to strengthen ties across a range of sectors, including trade, defense, and climate cooperation.
According to his office, the meetings aim to “deepen the Canada-EU relationship across all sectors,” reinforcing Canada’s position as a trusted transatlantic partner in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical landscape.
Carney will then travel to The Hague, Netherlands, for the NATO summit. There, he is expected to join fellow leaders in discussions focused on collective defense strategies, cybersecurity, and emerging global threats. The Prime Minister’s Office says the summit will provide an opportunity to engage with allies “to meet evolving threats in a more dangerous and divided world.”
Carney’s visit underscores Canada’s commitment to multilateral cooperation and will build on momentum from the G7, where he recently announced progress on trade talks with the U.S. and voiced strong support for international security partnerships.
