Prime Minister Mark Carney is travelling to Asia this week to bolster cooperation with India and Japan, with a stop in Australia as well.
A Feb. 23 statement from the prime minister’s office (PMO) described the trip to the three Indo-Pacific countries as a bid to help Canada diversify its trade relationships and attract new investment opportunities. Canada is seeking to diversify trade away from the United States and double non-U.S. exports over the next decade.
