While in Oslo, Carney is expected to meet with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store to discuss trade, investment, clean energy, critical minerals and the aerospace sector.

The prime minister will also attend the Canada-Nordic Summit to meet with Nordic leaders and talk about ways to enhance geopolitical co-operation.

Before returning to Canada, Carney plans to stop in London to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to talk about defence and the war in the Middle East.
