Prime Minister Mark Carney will touch down on Tuesday in Sydney, Australia — the next stop on his Indo-Pacific tour aimed at shoring up investment in Canada and building new trade alliances.
On the agenda is a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, a leader with whom Carney shares much common ground.
Carney will also address Australia's parliament, becoming the first Canadian prime minister to do so in nearly 20 years. His remarks are expected to echo the themes of his widely noted speech in Davos, which urged "middle powers" to stand together.
The visit follows a four‑day trip to India, where Carney signed deals worth billions in a significant diplomatic breakthrough with Delhi.
In Australia, Carney's office said the prime minister will discuss deepening cooperation on defence and maritime security, critical minerals, trade and artificial intelligence.
