Carney arrives in U.K. to talk trade, court investment

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Sep, 2025 09:41 AM

Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in London to take part in meetings with the leaders of the United Kingdom, Australia, Iceland, Spain and Denmark on Friday.

This will be Carney's second official visit to the U.K. since becoming prime minister, and his third one-on-one meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Carney has been stressing the need to build stronger international ties as his government looks to reduce Canada's reliance on the United States for trade.

Carney is also set to attend the Global Progress Action Summit, an annual gathering of centre-left political and business leaders.

The prime minister spoke at the conference when it was held in Montreal last year.

The Conservatives have criticized the frequency of Carney's international trips and have accused him of delivering photo ops instead of concrete results.
