U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer to visit Ottawa on his way to G7 summit in Alberta
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will arrive in Ottawa Saturday for a visit with Prime Minister Mark Carney on his way to the G7 leaders' summit in Kananaskis, Alta. "Canada and the United Kingdom have shared history and enduring ties. Prime Minister Starmer's visit will strengthen the long-standing economic and security partnership between the two nations — and deliver growth and prosperity for our peoples," Carney's office said in a statement. Carney met Starmer in London in March during his first foreign trip as prime minister. That trip also saw Carney visit with French President Emmanuel Macron. During Carney and Starmer's meeting at 10 Downing Street, the prime ministers sat for photos and made brief statements but did not take any questions. "We're at a point in history where the world is being reordered," Carney said, adding that the two countries' "security co-operation, which is seamless, is essential," as the pair work through the G7 to help "reshape the world." The G7 summit begins Sunday.
