Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to embark on a nine-day journey to Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea at the end of this month to participate in two international summits.
He is slated to take part in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit in Kuala Lumpur, where discussions with Malaysia’s prime minister will focus on trade matters.
Following this summit, Carney will engage with Singapore’s prime minister and local business leaders to address the elimination of trade obstacles and the attraction of international investments.
The prime minister will wrap up his visit in South Korea by attending a meeting of Asia-Pacific economic leaders in Gyeongju.
Carney has previously mentioned his intention to visit the Hanwha Ocean shipyard in South Korea, which is one of the two contenders for a contract to construct new submarines for Canada.
His travels in Asia are scheduled from October 24 to November 1.
