Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit Australia from March 3 to 6, 2026.
It is Mr Carney’s first visit to Australia since he took on the top job and comes after his landmark speech urging “middle powers” to work better together.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia and Canada had a “close and enduring partnership, underpinned by trust and shared values, including parliamentary democracy, multiculturalism, equality before the law, and respect for our First Nations peoples”.
He said Mr Carney’s visit, covering Canberra and Sydney, was an opportunity to further strengthen cooperation on investment, economic security and critical minerals, defence, and links between institutions and communities.
“Canada is one of Australia’s closest friends, built on generations of trust, with a shared commitment to supporting stability across the Indo-Pacific and beyond,” Mr Albanese said.
“As our countries face new challenges and opportunities, we must deepen our cooperation with partners to promote our national interests.”
