OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney takes off Wednesday for summits in Asia and Ireland where he’ll look to advance trade and security ties.

His travels will take him to four countries and put him on the ground as high-stakes diplomacy takes place between the United States, China and Russia.

Vina Nadjibulla, co-founder of the Centre for Strategic Statecraft, said the trip is Canada’s chance to build on new agreements and partnerships it has signed with countries around the world.

“We’re now entering a much more consequential phase of actually implementing and delivering on all of these agreements, and sustaining the momentum,” she said.

“When Prime Minister Carney speaks about diversifying our relationships, it’s not just about Europe.”

The prime minister is set to depart for Dublin shortly after the Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa.

Carney will attend the European Political Community summit in Dublin, set for Nov. 12. For the second time, Canada will be the only non-European country represented at the table. Carney joined the group’s last meeting in Armenia in May.

The EPC summits have taken place roughly every six months since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The informal meetings are aimed at discussing strategic co-operation in politics, security and infrastructure.
