Carney Heading to India, Australia and Japan as Canada Seeks to Reduce Its Reliance on US
Mark Carney aims to double Canada-India trade to CAN$70 billion by 2030 and strengthen partnerships on energy, defence, and AI during visits to three Indo-Pacific nations.
- This coming week Carney begins a trip to India, Australia and Japan from February 26 to March 7, 2026, to unlock opportunities in trade, energy, technology and defence.
- Facing U.S. trade tensions, Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to reduce Canada's reliance on the United States and broaden non‑U.S. trade after tariffs hurt Canadian exporters and key sectors.
- At the centre is India, with Ottawa and New Delhi launching CEPA talks last year to more than double two-way trade to $70 billion by 2030 after $30.8 billion in 2024.
- In Australia, Carney will address both Houses of Australia's Parliament—the first Canadian prime minister to do so in nearly 20 years—and meet Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and business leaders to deepen cooperation on defence, critical minerals and AI, and attract investment.
- Following a breakthrough visit by Ajit Doval, the trip aims to put behind years of mistrust after tensions from Justin Trudeau's accusations over Hardeep Singh Nijjar, with recent talks by S. Jaishankar and Anita Anand also paving the way.
