Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Jun, 2025 01:41 PM

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will visit Ottawa between June 14 and 15 ahead of the G7 summit in Alberta next week.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the visit this morning.

An itinerary for the visit has not been released yet.

Carney last met with Starmer in London in March during his first international trip as Canada's prime minister.

This comes at a time when Canada looks to strengthen trade and security ties with European allies.

The G7 summit, beginning in Kananaskis, Alta next week, is set to welcome the leaders of several non-member countries including India, Ukraine and Mexico.
