Prime Minister Mark Carney will travel to Ireland, the Philippines, Cambodia and China from November 11 to 19, 2026, representing Canada at four major international summits, the Prime Minister’s Office announced on November 4, 2026.
In Dublin, Ireland, he will attend the Summit of the European Political Community, as Canada works toward becoming the European Union’s first Associate Member under the recently launched Alliance for the Future.
In Manila, Philippines, he will attend the ASEAN Summit as Guest of the Chair and work to finalise the ASEAN-Canada free trade agreement, expected to unlock more than $3.5 billion in exports and boost Canada’s GDP by C$2.55 billion.
During the Manila visit he will also aim to conclude negotiations on a Canada-Philippines free trade agreement that is expected to triple bilateral trade by 2035. It would be his first visit to the Philippines since taking office.
In Phnom Penh, Cambodia, he will attend the Sommet de la Francophonie ahead of Canada hosting the summit in 2028 — his first visit to Cambodia since taking office and his first participation in the summit.
The trip ends in Shenzhen, China, for the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, building on the Canada-China Strategic Partnership that Ottawa says is unlocking more than $7 billion in export markets for Canadian workers and businesses.
