Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will welcome the Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, to Australia from 3 to 6 March.
This will be Prime Minister Carney’s first visit to Australia as Prime Minister. He will visit Sydney and Canberra, where he will address the Australian Parliament.
Australia and Canada have a close and enduring partnership, underpinned by trust and shared values, including parliamentary democracy, multiculturalism, equality before the law, and respect for our First Nations peoples.
Prime Minister Carney’s visit is an opportunity to further strengthen cooperation on investment, economic security and critical minerals, defence, and links between our institutions and communities.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
“I am pleased to welcome my friend Prime Minister Carney to Australia and look forward to his address to the Australian Parliament.
“Canada is one of Australia’s closest friends, built on generations of trust, with a shared commitment to supporting stability across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
“As our countries face new challenges and opportunities, we must deepen our cooperation with partners to promote our national interests.
“I look forward to discussing ways to build on our existing cooperation with Canada to shape the next stage of this key relationship.”
